Mozambique’s President, Filipe Nyusi, announced in 2018 that the country will hold presidential, legislative and provincial elections on October 2019.
This will be the first contest without historic opposition leader Afonso Dhlakama who passed away in May 2018.
It’s also the first time that provincial governors will be elected.
