The opposition provinces of Nampula and Zambézia continue to suffer a registration crisis. Observers from the Mais Integridade civil society observation consortium found 89% of registration posts visited in Quelimane in the week of 19-25 May had problems, a sharp increase from the 68% the week before. In Nacala Porto 75% had problems, and in Nampula city 50%, both higher than in the previous week.
