The general election, 2009

In the Mozambican parliamentary election held on 28 October 2009 the Mozambique Democratic Movement was not allowed to contest by the National Election Commission (Comissão Nacional de Eleições) in 9 of the 13 voting constituencies, allegedly on controversial procedural grounds.[2] MDM secured 3.93% of the total vote and 8 seats in the 250 member Assembly of the Republic.[3] Daviz Simango was the MDM candidate in the presidential election held on the same day.[4] He was placed third with 8.59% of the total vote.[3]
