Demonstrators rejected the electoral commission's announcement that Daniel Chapo, a 47-year-old former provincial governor, had won the October 9 election with 71% of the vote, labeling the process a "stolen" election.

Opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, who claimed to have won just over 20% of the vote, denounced the election results as not reflecting the will of the people. He characterized the political situation in Mozambique as "rotten, doctored, and fake," urging further demonstrations. Observers from the European Union had earlier reported irregularities and bias favoring Frelimo during the election process.
