Mozambique: Constitutional Council calls for greater electoral transparency

Mozambique's supreme law-making body has called for the inclusion of local and international observer missions at all stages of the vote tally, ensuring greater transparency in future elections. Although the Constitutional Council (CC) last Thursday validated the results of the December 2004 general elections, which the ruling FRELIMO party won by a landslide, it reportedly said it had followed the debate on observers' access to vote tabulation "with concern".
