Mozambican Elections

Mozambicans are heading to the polls in a general election this morning. The country has seen one of the most violent campaigns in its brief and turbulent history. This has raised fears that the presidential, parliamentary and provincial polls may not be free and fair. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Election Observers have strongly condemned all incidents of violence including the killing of the head of the local election observer group Anastácio Matavele, in Xai-Xai, last week. This will be the first elections without historic Renamo opposition leader, Afonso Dhlakama, who died in May last year. He ran unsuccessfully in the previous presidential elections without accepting defeat in any of them
