The International Republican Institute’s International Election Observation Mission issued the following statement today in response to the release of election results in Mozambique:
“The Mozambican election was marred by widespread irregularities that raise serious questions about its legitimacy. The lack of transparency in tabulation, voter intimidation, the alleged manipulation of voter rolls, and the discrepancies registered between the number of votes cast in the different elections, reveal a deeply flawed process. These issues must be addressed immediately to restore trust in Mozambique’s democratic process and uphold the fundamental principles of free and fair elections. Without swift action, the credibility of Mozambique’s electoral system—and the broader democratic framework—will remain in jeopardy.
“IRI condemns the recent political violence, including the assassination of key opposition figures, and calls on the government and all political actors to refrain from violence.”
