On October 14, 2024, Mozambique's attorney general issued a warning against inciting violence or prematurely declaring victory in the ongoing electoral process. This statement comes as the country continues to tally votes from the October 9 elections.
Venancio Mondlane, the opposition presidential candidate, who is currently in second place according to preliminary tallies, had previously claimed victory on Friday. In contrast, Daniel Chapo, the candidate from the ruling party, has been reported as victorious in at least two provinces and the capital city based on preliminary official results.
