Elvino Dias was killed preparing a draft of the Podemos appeal to the Constitutional Council
Elvino Dias was preparing a draft of the Podemos party's appeal to be submitted to the Constitutional Council as soon as the CNE announced the results. The CNE is expected to publish the results of 9 October general elections next Wednesday . With his assassination, the process may be jeopardised, but it will still go ahead. Other lawyers will step in to continue the work already started by the deceased.
Witnesses claim that when the police arrived did not allow an ambulance to take Guambe, then still alive, and the woman who was also shot, to the hospital. At the end of the day yesterday, Interior Minister Pascoal Ronda reacted to the murders of Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe and said"the government urges Sernic and the police to clarify these cases quickly and to bring the perpetrators to justice and make them accountable".'Electoral administration bodies discredit & tarnish the entire electoral process', says Bar Association
"The Mozambican Bar Association, within its statutory duties of defending the democratic rule of law, challenges and even urges the National Electoral Commission to publish all the tabulation minutes and editais - partial, intermediate and general - in order to remove any opacity present in the tabulation of votes. This will contribute to the credibility of the electoral process and the democratic legitimisation of those elected. Otherwise, our seriousness will be besmirched by mud.
Frelimo will want to keep its three quarters majority, which requires 188 seats, and also will not take so many seats from Podemos as to be obvious.
