 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday.

 Mozambique Elections: “I will take office as President-elect on January 15” – Opposition leader

In Mozambique, the presidential candidate supported by the Podemos party, Venâncio Mondlane, has promised more protests against the results of the October 9 general elections and stated that he would take office as “President-elect” on January 15, 2025 without clarifying how he would achieve this goal.


“On the 15th of January 2025, I will be sworn in as the elected President of Mozambique,” he announced in a live broadcast on his Facebook page, a channel he has been using to communicate with the country.


The presidential candidate also guaranteed that the ongoing demonstrations in the country would continue. He announced a series of measures lasting until January 15, 2025, namely, free movement through tolls throughout the country and the suspension of tax payments, according to Club of Mozambique.


Next phase announced on December 16


“Today (Wednesday), we will finish our fourth phase, but the demonstrations will not stop. We will take a break, and then we will start the turbo V8 phase, which will be announced on Monday (16-12),” he said.


The fourth phase of protests demanding the “restitution of electoral truth”, brought blockades of the roads connecting the country’s capital, Maputo, and other interprovincial routes.


“If the regime still wants to maintain the election results, if the fraudsters want to maintain the idea of establishing another illegal, illegitimate and unelected government, we will have no alternative but to move forward after this phase,” Mondlane said.


“Starting tomorrow, all tolls must be free and open until January 15. We will suspend the payment of all taxes and fees before January 15,” he added, without explaining how this idea would be put into practice.


Despite strong police activity, protesters used stones, tree trunks and burning tires to block the main roads in the centre of the Mozambican capital, which prevented many Mozambicans from getting to work.


According to the non-governmental organization Plataforma Eleitoral Decide, the post-election protests have left at least 110 people dead since October 21.
