Mozambique’s top court on Monday confirmed the ruling party Frelimo’s victory in an October election, which has sparked massive protests by opposition groups who say the vote was rigged.

Mozambique’s highest court has upheld the governing party’s win in the October presidential election following weeks of opposition protests in which more than 100 people have died.

The highest court in Mozambique, the Constitutional Council, confirmed the disputed October election results that extended the Frelimo party's 50-year grip on power.

A ruling on Monday confirming that Daniel Chapo had won a disputed election has sparked protests and violence.

Mozambique’s Oct. 9 presidential election was won by the ruling party candidate Daniel Chapo with 65% of the vote, the country’s top electoral court ruled, slightly reducing his initially-reported support while still leaving him the clear winner.
