Elections 2009 Mozambique (Maputo)
27 October 2009
Dancing, music, a lack of violence and a high participation characterised the final day of the campaign on Sunday, according to reports from our 100 journalists across Mozambique.
Thousands attended the "showmícios" – a mix of a political rally and a show with bands – in the big cities, while there was singing and dancing even in smaller towns.
The closing of the campaign was overwhelmingly peaceful, although the were a few arrests and skirmishes between supporters of different parties.
Frelimo was active in all provinces and districts. Renamo and the MDM were present in most, but not all. On the final days of the campaign, Frelimo continued to use government vehicles, which underlined its advantages compared to the other parties which had much less money and fewer resources. - Tânia Frechauth
2800 observers and journalists
1926 observers had been registered by the National Election Commission by Monday morning, and the number is still increasing. There were 1441 national observers and 486 foreign observers.
874 journalists have been registered, of whom 35 are foreign. More than 100 of these journalists are contributing to this Bulletin.
With nearly 13,000 polling stations, nearly 88,000 polling station staff have been trained and will be on duty Wednesday. Election officials feel they are better organised than in the past, and that they have adequate transport to ensure that materials will reach all polling stations in time.
Arrests and injury in Nacala Sunday scuffle
One person was hospitalised and several others injured in an incident at the close of the Renamo campaign in Nacala block 1.
The incident apparently started when a women in a Renamo parade was knocked down by a car covered in Frelimo posters. Renamo members immediately launched a big protest, blocking two main roads.
Police spokesman Oliveira Maneque confirmed that the police used tear gas to disperse the crowds. And two Renamo members were arrested.

Mass Murderer Joseph Stalin , Who Was Behind The Robbing And Murdering Of
Millions Of Russians, Is Famous For The Following Quote :
“ It’s Not Who Votes That Counts , It’s Who Counts The Votes “.
Here’s Another Quote “ Take Precautions That No One Trick You “ - - [ Paraphrased From Matthew 24:4 / A Jesus Christ Quote ] –
There Are Certain People That Society Tend To Drop Their Guard On And
Automatically Trust . Here Are Some Of Those People That We Tend To “ TURN A
BLIND EYE TO “ : Politicians, Doctors, Lawyers, Religious Ministers,
Close Relatives , Teachers, Sports Coaches, Celebrities , etc…
GHANA And Other Countries Are Being Infiltrated By Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing .
They Pose As One Thing , While They Are Actually Trying To Continue What The
Portuguese Started Around The 1440s ; When They Took Some Gold Coast Residents To
Portugal Starting African Slavery In Europe.
This Electronic Voting Scheme Will Allow The Wicked To Control Who Gets
Into Positions Of Power Where They Can Conduct The Movements Of Society
Deceptively. America (Babylon) Has A Recent History Of Deception Using This
Electronic Voting In A Wicked Way.
There Are Two(2) Ways We Can Go With This Electronic Voting Situation :
1) Allow Electronic Voting Where Every Person Who Votes Get’s A Time & Place
Stamp Showing The Time & Location They Voted At , Also With The Voter’s Name &
Address On It And A Complete Record Of Who They Voted For. In Effect Each Voter
Would Receive A VOTER’S RECEIPT : Accounting For Every Detail Of Their Voting.
A) The Citizens Themselves Would Voluntarily Count The Votes.. Persons Counting The Votes Would Not Get Paid. Also Different Persons Would Alternate In Counting The Votes. Their Names Would Be Drawn From A Pool Of Registered Voters ; Much Like Jury Duty Is Assigned. The Persons Selected Would Have To Agree To Volunteer Their Time. Some May Not Be Able To Accept Their Civic Duty At The Time. So Their Name Would Be Thrown Back Into The Available Pool Of Registered Citizens.
2) Not Allowing Electronic Vote Counting. And Implementing The Alternating Citizens Vote Counting Scheme (Mentioned In Section 1-A Above).
3) A Volunteer Watch Committee Of Citizens Would Give Quarterly Reports On Elected
Officials . It Would Also Be Good To Establish Type Of Voting Regulations That :
A) Allowed For Replacement Of Elected Officials Who Become Unsavory To The Masses Because Of Their Lack Of performance In Their Elected Office.
B) Also A Law That Doesn’t Allow Politicians To Make A Career Out Of Public Service. If They Want To Spend Their Life Helping People, Their Ingenuity, With God’s Help, Will Direct Their Paths.
C) Any Kind Of Political Office By Election Or Appointment Should Never Be Any Real Citizen’s Permanent Office. We All Should be Doing What God Made Us To Do ; Each Can Find Their Own Way.
4) Citizens Must Become More Proactive And GIVE OUR RE – PRESENTATIVES
AGENDAS TO PRESENT FOR US. Here’s How It Works :
A) The Citizens PRESENT AGENDAS TO OUR ELECTED & APPOINTED OFFICIALS.
B) Our ELECTED & APPOINTED OFFICIALS Re-PRESENT The Agendas Of The Citizens To The Other Elected & Appointed Representatives.
C) What Happens When No Citizens Present Agendas To Elected & Appointed Officials ? Nothing Good. Our Representatives Are Often Approached By Lobbyists. Many Of These Lobbyists Are Paid By Special Interest Groups To Present Agendas Of Special Interest Groups To Them.
D) Citizens Need To Have A Revolving Committee Of Volunteer Think Tanks & Lobbyists Who Will Take Turns Working On And Presenting The Citizens Agenda To Our Elected & Appointed Agendas.
E) From A Christian Perspective , I Believe That The Spiritually Wicked Jailed In Hell Are Always Spiritually-Lobbying Those Who Are Deceived Among Man (Ephesians 6:12). So We Must Also Lobby God Our Mankind’s Behalf ; As Spirituall Lobbyists.
AS JESUS CHRIST SAID SO OFTEN : WATCH AND PRAY !!!!!!!!
