Mozambique election results being doctored - EU

EU election observers in Mozambique reported evidence of doctored voting results amid rising unrest following the general elections on October 9.

Opposition protests, led by independent candidate Venâncio Mondlane, erupted after the killing of his lawyer and a political official, which Mondlane attributes to security forces. He claims victory in the elections despite allegations of vote-buying, inflated voter rolls, and intimidation.

As tensions escalate, police clashed with protesters in cities like Maputo, leading to injuries and arrests.

Calls for justice are growing, with local and international leaders condemning the violence.

The official election results are expected by Friday.
