Mozambique Holds National Elections Amid Expectation of Ruling Party Victory

ai generated text

Mozambicans are set to choose their next president and parliament in a national election on Wednesday, with 80% of the population under 35 voting for change. The Frelimo party, which has ruled the country since independence in 1975, is fielding a new candidate, Daniel Chapo, a 47-year-old provincial governor who was relatively unknown until being chosen in May as the successor to outgoing president Filipe Nyusi. The Renamo party, a former opponent in a civil war that lasted from 1977 to 1992 and cost an estimated 1 million lives, is also vying for power.

    1. I would also ask that no group of citizens agitates or threatens others, that everything happens in peace and tranquillity and that we avoid announcing the results ahead of time.

    1. People are not going to accept this kind of theft, this kind of shamelessness, this kind of electoral banditry.

    1. The new president of Mozambique will have to tackle high levels of public debt and weak revenue inflows, as key energy projects continue to suffer delays due to the insurgency in Cabo Delgado.

    1. This election is different because we have new actors ... (but) Frelimo has a big probability to win.
    2. People are not very satisfied with the country's situation and many voters will vote against Frelimo.
    3. But I don't think these votes will be enough to remove Frelimo from power.

    1. They've already done the rigging before the election. They've made it difficult for people to register to vote. In the areas where they are strong, they then make sure that they do a more comprehensive registration.

    1. No matter what happens, the final result doesn't depend on the voters' will.
    2. Mondlane is a gamechanger … If this was a fair and free election, at least Mondlane would be the second [placed] candidate.
    3. The election is never difficult for an authoritarian regime.
  7. MZ
    Amandio Sergio
    1. The next president must create jobs. We are tired of hearing promises.
