Wednesday’s general elections included the seventh presidential elections – in which the current head of state, Filipe Nyusi, who has reached the constitutional limit of two terms, has not run – at the same time as the seventh legislative elections and the fourth elections for provincial assemblies and governors.

According to electoral legislation, the provincial results should be counted by the end of today, with the count in all 154 districts of the country having been completed over the weekend.

The publication of the results of the presidential election by the National Electoral Commission, if there is no second round, takes up to 15 days (counted from the closing of the polls), before they are sent for validation by the Constitutional Council, which has no deadline to proclaim the official results after analysing possible appeals.

The vote included legislative elections for the national parliament (250 deputies) and for provincial assemblies and their respective governors, in this case with 794 seats to be distributed.

The CNE approved lists of 35 political parties running for the Assembly of the Republic and 14 political parties and groups of citizens voting for the provincial assemblies.

All these results are still provisional, awaiting confirmation by the National Elections Commission (CNE), and eventual validation by the Constitutional Council
