The main opposition leader, who has claimed victory in the October 9 presidential election, on Monday threatened to wreak "chaos and disorder" countrywide if a top court upholds official election results that he contests.The Constitutional Council is due to confirm the results at least two weeks ahead of the January inauguration of Daniel Chapo, 47, the ruling party Frelimo's candidate to succeed the outgoing President Filipe Nyusi.
"If we get the electoral truth, we will go towards peace. If it is an electoral lie, we will bring the country down to a precipice, chaos and disorder," Mondlane warned in a live online broadcast.He urged his supporters to "paralyse" the southern African country starting on Monday next week, the deadline for validating the results.
January is shaping up to be a mess.
