Partial tallies from the October 15 vote show President Filipe Nyusi and his Frelimo party dominating parliament, the legislative assemblies and all 10 provinces.

The results of Mozambique’s general elections will be announced on October 30, the electoral commission said on Wednesday, amid allegations of widespread ballot fraud.

“We have already received all the results from the provinces, now we’re busy processing them and it will be published on the 30th of this month, as the law requires,” CNE spokesman Paulo Cuinica said. The election has been seen as a key test of a peace deal sealed in August between Frelimo and the main opposition party Renamo, which fought a brutal 1975-1992 civil war.

But Renamo has called the vote to be annulled, saying the government breached a peace deal by using violence and intimidation on voting day.
