The official announcement made on Sunday by the Southern African nation’s electoral body revealed Nyusi won with 73% of the vote.
Ossufo Momade, the candidate for the main opposition party Renamo, trailed behind with 21.88 percent of the vote.
In a speech given to cheering supporters in the capital Maputo, Nyusi said he would further develop Mozambique and hasten the implementation of a two-month-old peace deal with Renamo — a rebel group turned opposition party.
