The mistakes of the past must be forgotten. For now, we have to start working to establish what went wrong and make improvements so that the elections proceed without upset. In the past we had problems with the system, like the batteries in some devices and human error. We cannot allow a repeat of this scenario in the next elections.”
Braz said the training aimed to update all members Election Commission support organs on matters of electoral law so that the next elections would take place smoothly. “We have members coming Frelimo, Renamo, the MDM and civil society. We need to give them an update on the legal framework so that we all share the same ideas and have the same perception regarding electoral legislation,” Braz said.
