Mozambique's Ruling Party Leads Amid Election Fraud Allegations

Opposition candidate Venancio Mondlane calls for a national strike, contesting the legitimacy of the election results.

Provisional results show Frelimo leading in all 11 provinces, with Daniel Chapo expected to win the presidency.
Frelimo, in power since 1975, faces accusations of election rigging, which it denies.
Independent candidate Venancio Mondlane claims to be leading based on his own tally and urges a nationwide strike on October 21.
Election observers report significant irregularities, including vote buying and inflated voter rolls in Frelimo strongholds.
Protests have erupted in Nampula, with police accused of using force to disperse demonstrators.
