General elections are scheduled to be held in Mozambique on 9 October 2024.[1][2][3]

The ruling party, FRELIMO, which has increasingly become marked with growing concerns of authoritarianism and impunity amid the controversies surrounding the 2023 local elections and the 2019 general election, is predicted to win.[4]

Electoral system[edit]

The President is elected using the two-round system.[5] The 250 members of the Assembly of the Republic are elected by proportional representation in eleven multi-member constituencies based on the country's provinces and on a first-past-the-post basis from two single-member constituencies representing Mozambican citizens in Africa and Europe. Seats in the multi-member constituencies are allocated using the d'Hondt method, with an electoral threshold of 5%.[6]

Candidates[edit]

On 5 May 2024, after a meeting of its Central Committee, FRELIMO named Daniel Chapo, a 47-year old law professor and former radio announcer, as its candidate in the upcoming election, to succeed outgoing president Filipe Nyusi.[7] On the same date, the Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM) selected its leader, Lutero Simango to be its candidate for the October elections.[8]
