University rector asks judges to shed ‘political cloaks’

The rector of the Catholic University of Mozambique (UCM) has asked the judges of the Constitutional Council (CC) to shed their “political cloaks” and ascertain the “electoral truth” in order to resolve the conflicts taking place in the country since the October elections, reports Lusa.

“The time has come for the judges of the Constitutional Council to give up on and shed their political cloaks in order to give credibility to this entire process, to disclose the results based on the evidence that has been presented so far and that can serve as material for analysis. The Constitutional Council has the responsibility to analyse and tell society about the electoral truth, in a more technical way in order to give credibility to that body,” said the rector of the UCM, Filipe Sungo.

Presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane on Monday 11 November called for a new period of demonstrations in Mozambique, lasting three days, starting on Wednesday 27 November, in all provincial capitals, to protest against the electoral process.
