Mozambique's top court on Monday confirmed the ruling party Frelimo's victory in an October election which sparked massive protests by opposition groups who say the vote was rigged.

The Constitutional Council has the final say over the electoral process and its ruling is likely to spark further protests in Mozambique, a Southern African country of close to 35 million people which Frelimo has governed since 1975.
