The initial declaration of the party as winners of the election by election authorities triggered what has been described as the biggest protest yet in the country’s history.
The country’s top court and its council according to reports, has the final say over the electoral process and its ruling is likely to spark further protests in Mozambique, an Eastern African country of close to 35 million people that Frelimo has governed since 1975.
