Mozambique's highest court has upheld the results of a contested presidential election, validating Daniel Chapo's presidency amid widespread accusations of electoral fraud and irregularities.
The ruling permits Frelimo's candidate, Daniel Chapo, to take office despite the top opposition candidate, Venancio Mondlane, announcing intentions to contest the legitimacy of the election results.
Independent election observers reported witnessing multiple irregularities during the election process, including unjustified alterations of results, as stated by the European Union's observer mission.
Amid these political challenges, Mozambique faces severe socio-economic issues, including the recent impact of Cyclone Chido and ongoing conflict linked to an Islamic State-backed insurgency.
