MOZAMBIQUE: DEMOCRACY, GOVERNANCE AND CORRUPTION 2009 Elections: CNE dialogues with African diplomats The national law for the parliamentary elections and the provincial assemblies is based on an election list of candidates for each constituency and not the selection of an individual as such, which implies that if any list does not meet the requirements by law loses the right to be submitted to the popular vote. This explanation was given yesterday in Maputo, to the ambassadors of African, Asian and Latin American countries accredited in Mozambique, by the President of the National Electoral Commission (CNE), Leopoldo da Costa, in a meeting requested by them to become aware of the national electoral process as a whole. http://www.jornalnoticias.co.mz/pls/notimz2/getxml/pt/contentx/890942 Elections: UN is closely monitoring the process of exclusion of parties The UN says it is following closely the process of reviewing candidacies of Mozambican political parties excluded from the electoral race of 28 October. "We want transparent, free and inclusive elections", because "we are following it closely (the evaluation of the Constitutional Council) and we have to follow it closely," said UN Resident Coordinator in Mozambique, Ndolamb Ngokwey. http://www.clubofmozambique.com/pt/sectionnews.php?secao=mocambique&id=14161&tipo=one International donors are not serious: says RENAMO The party Renamo considers the reaction of the group of 19 countries and international organizations that has the support of the general budget of the Mozambican state, to the CNE decisions of excluding some political parties, as belated and strange. According to the Chief Electoral Office Party, Ivone Soares, these organizations have been "sitting idle” at times when in fact it required a strong intervention. This moment was one in which the RENAMO-Electoral Union proposed to the Assembly of the Republic to review the electoral package, and it was rejected by the majority Frelimo bench. Zambeze. 24th September, 2009. Administrator sends a citizen arrest for challenging the use of state resources in electoral campaign The Human Rights League (LDH), in a statement, expressed its rejection of the arrest on 20 September 2009 of Julius Franque, act occurred in Tsangano, Tete province. Franque was arrested on the orders of the district Administrator, Herculano Combe after he knew that that citizen had challenged the use of resources of state during the election campaign of Frelimo. LDH says that the attitude of the Administrator violates freedom of expression of Mozambicans. This organization requires, therefore, the immediate and unconditional release of the citizen Julio Franque.

In 2004, he had even threatened to halt some domestic election observers, accusing them of negative interference in the electoral process. http://www.savana.co.mz/mediafax/68-ultimas/1619-administrador-manda-deter-cidadao- Suspected members of Renamo "expel" Mazanga of RENAMO SMS sent by individuals who identify themselves as members of RENAMO, realize that Fernando Mazanga, spokesman for the party at national level, was suspended from Renamo.
