The main opposition party in Mozambique, RENAMO, has said that harassment of its officials is endangering the fairness of the forthcoming general elections in parts of the western province of Tete, PANA news agency reported on Tuesday.
It quoted RENAMO election office spokesman, Gulamo Jafar, as telling a news conference that in three districts of Tete “we run the risk of not being able to appoint polling station monitors” - a right to which all parties are entitled. He said “aggression and harassment” by the ruling FRELIMO party and the local authorities might make it impossible for RENAMO to recruit monitors for the areas concerned.
