As expected, official results from Mozambique’s election show ruling party candidate Daniel Chapo winning the presidential election. The opposition says the poll was rigged and is calling for protests.

Mozambique's ruling party Frelimo has retained power in this month's national election, extending its five-decade rule in the Southern African state as the opposition accused it of fraud.

Frelimo party’s presidential candidate Daniel Chapo secures more than 70 percent of votes, election commission says.
