Overview
Mozambique's top court upheld the governing Frelimo party's victory in the October elections, confirming Daniel Chapo won with 65% of the vote. Opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane and his supporters claim the elections were rigged, resulting in weeks of protests that have led to at least 130 deaths. Despite the court's ruling, Mondlane has urged his supporters to continue demonstrating. International observers labeled the elections unfair, and civil unrest has adversely affected the economy and foreign investment in the country, leading to a downgrade in growth forecasts.
