An NGO watching Mozambique’s election last week reports widespread ballot box stuffing in favor of Pretoria Felipe Nyusi.

In some areas the official turnout is recorded at 75% of registered voters with four faiths of them voting for Nyusi.

The Mozambique Political Process Bulletin says results have come from 138 of Mozambique 160 districts.

At least districts have not recorded results because of an illegal ban on elections observers. Results in a dozen districts are incomplete.

Some polling stations  in Frelimo’s stronghold Gaza Province record no queues throughout voting day although large numbers of ballot papers for the ruling Frelimo Party were recorded. 

During counting at some rural voting stations ballot powers were founded folded into each other.
