In a statement on Wednesday, Mnangagwa emphasized the significance of the court’s decision, highlighting its role in upholding Mozambique’s national laws and aligning with SADC’s electoral guidelines.

"The ruling by that country’s top electoral court, which upheld Frelimo party’s victory, completes and thus exhausts all lawful processes on determining election results," Mnangagwa noted, underscoring the decision’s importance for peace and stability in the region.

SADC called on all stakeholders in Mozambique’s electoral process to respect the Constitutional Council’s verdict, viewing it as a constitutional resolution that paves the way for governance and unity.

Mnangagwa also affirmed SADC’s readiness to support the incoming government and the Mozambican people in strengthening their electoral democracy.

He urged the international community to honor Mozambique’s sovereign will and contribute positively to fostering peace and order in the country.

SADC, a 16-member regional bloc that includes Mozambique and Zimbabwe, continues to play a pivotal role in promoting democratic processes and stability within the southern African region.

The Constitutional Council’s decision, announced earlier this week, marks the conclusion of Mozambique’s electoral process and confirms the leadership transition to Daniel Chapo.

The court declared Daniel Chapo the winner of the October 9 general elections.
