Interim leader of the former rebel movement and now the main opposition of Mozambique Renamo , Ossufo Momade, said Thursday that the president should urgently order the creation of an independent inquiry commission to investigate fraud in this month's municipal elections, otherwise the peace negotiations would be abandoned.

Speaking to reporters via telephone from the upstate Gorongosa, Ossufo Momade declared his reaction to the final results announced on Wednesday about the local elections in the country that gave victory to the ruling party Frelimo.

"We feel that the results announced by the National Elections Commission (CNE) can negatively influence the peace negotiations on table," said Momade.

Renamo says it is ready to do everything to maintain peace and social stability as a way to continue with the ideals of its late leader Afonso Dhlakama, but only after the observations of electoral fraud have been established.

"I urgently invite the President of the nation to order the creation of an independent commission to investigate the electoral fraud that took place in the central, northern and Matola municipalities," said Momade.

Momade also called on the United Nations and civil society organizations to use their authority and do something through the contact group peace talks to restore the truth of the election.

On Wednesday shortly after CNE announced the official results of the elections, Renamo spokesman Andre Magibire said "now the peace negotiation is on hold."
