2004 - Presidential and Parliamentary election

In the December 1-2 2004 election Armando Guebuza, the new FRELIMO candidate, won expectedly with 63.7% of the votes, more than twice as many as RENAMO candidate Afonso Dhlakama (31.7%).
In the parliamentary election FRELIMO won 62% (1.8 million) of the votes, RENAMO 29.7% (905,000 votes) and 18 minor parties shared the remaining eight per cent. FRELIMO will hold 160 of the parliamentary seats, RENAMO 90.
The elections have been criticized for not having been conducted in a fair and transparent manner by the National Electoral Commission (CNE), several cases of fraud have occurred and remained unsanctioned. This has been criticized among others by the European Union Election Observation Mission to Mozambique and the Carter Center. However, the elections shortcomings have probably not (also according to EU observers) affected the final result in the presidential election. The distribution of parliamentary seats among the parties will have been somewhat altered though (RENAMO probably losing a number of seats to FRELIMO).
