Mozambique held a pivotal general election on October 9, 2024, marking a potential turning point after nearly 50 years of Frelimo's rule since independence in 1975. Daniel Chapo, the 47-year-old candidate from Frelimo, is seen as the frontrunner, representing a generational shift as he was born post-independence and has distanced himself from the party's corruption scandals. However, widespread discontent among young voters regarding job opportunities and ongoing violence in the north complicates his campaign. Outgoing President Filipe Nyusi urged peaceful conduct during the elections amidst fears of electoral fraud, with allegations of “ghost” voters surfacing. Chapo faces competition from Ossufo Momade of the opposition Renamo party, and Venâncio Mondlane, an independent candidate appealing to younger demographics. The results, expected in about two weeks, will reveal if Mozambique can navigate its socio-economic challenges while potentially shifting its political landscape.
