MOZAMBIQUE: DEMOCRACY AND GOVERNANCE
Eight parties seeking redress to the "Constitutional"
The Constitutional Council (CC) received at least eight requests for appeal, an equal number of political parties contesting the decisions of the National Electoral Commission (CNE) to exclude them wholly or partly from the race for the Parliament and for provincial assemblies. According to the Organic Law of the Constitutional Council, this institution has a maximum of eleven days, starting yesterday, to rule definitively concerning these claims. According to Geraldo Saranga, Secretary General of the Constitutional Council, political parties that have brought with respect to decisions of the National Electoral Commission in particular are PASOMO, PARENA, Electoral Union coalition, MPD, the Green Party, the National Opposition Union (UNO ), MDM and SOL.

CNE began reviewing applications excluded
The National Elections Commission (CNE) began yesterday to review the applications of the ten political forces excluded from the race on 28 October, but believes that these parties "are acting in bad faith." The spokesman of the CNE, Juvenal Bucuane, ensured that the electoral body "is doing a thorough review of procedures for all", because the institution "may have been mistaken" interpretation of the law, although he feels that "scrupulously respected” the electoral law. Juvenal Bucuane pointed out that the CNE is "prepared" to recognize the errors, if the Constitutional Council contests the ruling of the CNE, but noted that "the excluded parties are acting in bad faith" by challenging its decision.
