 Political Unrest and Prison Breaks Amid Mozambique’s Disputed Election Results Over 1,500 prisoners escaped from a Mozambique prison amid violent protests triggered by disputed presidential election results. Tensions escalated after the ruling Frelimo party's victory was upheld by the constitutional court, leading to clashes that killed at least 33 people. The unrest allowed prisoners to break out, with 150 recaptured so far, while widespread looting and arson have further destabilized the country. The protests, fueled by opposition leader VenĂ¢ncio Mondlane’s claims of election fraud, have resulted in over 150 deaths since October. By Christmas Eve, Maputo was a ghost town, with businesses shuttered and residents avoiding the violence. The ongoing chaos highlights the deep political and social divisions in Mozambique following the controversial election.

 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it will resume nationwide continuous voter registration, CVR, February 2025.


It said the exercise would commence at the LGA level and later extend to registration areas.


The Commission’s Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, in a memo dated November 20, 2024, charged Resident Electoral Commissioners to make some arrangements for the exercise.


“Kindly provide the following information for adequate preparation for the exercise: Status of INEC Voter Enrolment Device (IVED) and accessories in the state.


“Status of both coloured and black/white heavy-duty printers and availability of CVR Forms/materials.


“The commission is considering commencing the exercise at Local Government Area (LGA) level and later devolve to Registration Area (RA) level.


“The state offices are expected to identify and select staff that will work as voter registration officials.


“You are to please prepare the information of uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) to facilitate the printing of the Register of uncollected PVCs for display during the exercise,” the memo read.


Recall that in July 2022, the electoral body suspended the CVR exercise ahead of the 2023 general election.


However, it conducted voter registration exercises in states in which off-cycle elections took place.
