Maputo — The Constitutional Council, Mozambique's highest body in matters of constitutional and electoral law, on Monday announced that it has confirmed the validity of four nominations for the post of President of the Republic, and has rejected seven others.1. Daniel Chapo, proposed by the ruling Frelimo Party; 2. Ossufo Momade, the leader of the main opposition party, Renamo; 3. Lutero Simango, leader of the second opposition party, the Mozambique Democratic Movement ; 4.
The signatures were also checked against the data base on voter registration, kept by the Electoral Administration Technical Secretariat, to ensure that each signature was accompanied by a valid voter card number. Domingos Zucula, of the Ecology Party , told the chairperson of the Constitutional Council, Lucia Ribeiro, that he was submitting 10,730 signatures. They were immediately counted, and it tuned out that Zucula only had 4,490 signatures.
But as the Council checked the signatures of these candidates they found that they were riddled with fraud. Some were obviously copies of names or voter card numbers from the electoral roll, with forged signatures.
