The National Council of the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), the main opposition party, will meet this Sunday in Maputo, but the agenda “will be announced on the day of the meeting”, a spokesman for the organization said.
The meeting was scheduled for Monday by Renamo’s Political Commission and comes ahead of an elective Congress that will take place a month later to prepare for October general elections.
Renamo announced on March 22 that it would hold a congress to elect the organization’s next president on May 15 and 16.
Renamo has been led by Ossufo Momade since the death of Afonso Dhlakama in May 2018, but the mandate of the party’s organs expired on January 17. Despite this, at the time party spokesman José Manteigas named Ossufo Momade as a candidate for the October general elections for the presidency of the republic.
Three activists have already said they intend to run for the Renamo leadership in the year Mozambique holds general elections, including presidential ones: MP and former Maputo municipality candidate Venancio Mondlane, the brother of the party’s historical leader Elias Dhlakama and former MP Juliano Picardo.
Quelimane Mayor Manuel de Araujo said he was studying the possibility.
In Mozambique, general elections will be held on October 9, including presidential elections, in which the current president of the republic and leader of the Mozambican Liberation Front (Frelimo) Filipe Nyusi is no longer participating, as he has reached two terms in office. limit set by the Constitution.
