Mozambique's ruling party, Frelimo, has retained power in presidential and parliamentary elections – extending its five-decade rule as the opposition accused it of fraud and held protests in several cities.

Mozambique’s election commission today declared Daniel Chapo and his ruling party Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frente de Libertação de Moçambique, Frelimo) winners of the country’s October 9 general elections.

Daniel Chapo was declared winner of the presidential election less than a week after two opposition figures were gunned down.
