December 27, Addis Ababa Moussa Faki Mahamat, the chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, voiced his alarm over the violence in Mozambique after the election.

According to the Xinhua news agency, the AU chief issued a statement calling for a peaceful end to the growing post-election violence in Mozambique, especially in light of the country’s constitutional council’s recent announcement of the final election results, which claimed many lives.

On Thursday, he offered his condolences to the victims and asked the nation’s security forces to remain calm and uphold law and order despite the bloodshed.

In order to prevent further deaths and property damage, the head of the 55-member continental organization also urged the Mozambican government and all other national political and social players to look for a peaceful resolution to the present situation.

He reiterated the AU’s commitment to working with Southern African Development Community members and Mozambican stakeholders to prevent violence and protect the nation’s constitutional democracy.

Daniel Chapo was declared the victor of the general elections held on October 9 by Mozambique’s Constitutional Council, which oversees constitutional and electoral matters, earlier on Monday.

As the fifth president of the Republic of Mozambique, Chapo will succeed current President Filipe Nyusi.

A number of anomalies were discovered during the election process, but not enough to render the results void.

Numerous individuals have perished in the post-election pandemonium, according to accounts from the local media.

According to local media, since demonstrations began on October 21, hundreds of people have been hurt and over 100 citizens have perished in the post-election mayhem.

Human rights organizations have said that Mozambican security personnel used disproportionate force to put an end to the demonstrations. Since Mozambique separated from Portugal in 1975, Frelimo has been in power.
