10:05 CAT | 14 Oct 2018
Frelimo won Maputo city:
Frelimo 214,103 – 56.95%
Renamo 136,947 – 36.43%
MDM 19,269 – 5.13%
Other parties and citizens lists together gained 1.49%.
Frelimo won Tete with 54% to 43% for Renamo and 2% for MDM.
But Frelimo won four cities by 1% or less, and in two of those, parallel counts gave victory to Renamo, which is challenging all four results.
In Monapo the STAE provisional count gave Renamo a 706 vote advantage but the district election commission (CDE) official result gave the win to Frelimo by 206 votes (1.08%). In Alto Molocue the EISA parallel count gave Renamo an advantage 1090 votes, yet the CDE gave victory to Frelimo by 113 votes (0.63%).
The two other municipalities with close and contested votes, but with no provisional or parallel count, are Moatize where the CDE has given Frelimo victory by 98 votes (0.49%) and Matola where the Frelimo win was by 2197 votes (0.77%).
Renamo has confirmed wins in 7 municipalities – Quelimane, Angoche, Ilha de Mocambique, Nacala and Chiure along the coast, plus Nacala and Cuamba inland. It is contesting the four municipalities noted above plus Marromeu, where ballot boxes were taken by police. And Renamo could win in Malema, the only municipality which has so far failed to report its results.
