Africa-Press – Mozambique. The Mozambican party Anamola, founded by politician Venâncio Mondlane, submitted a letter to the President of the Republic proposing its participation in the country’s ongoing political dialogue, requesting that the matter be discussed in parliament.
“I hereby request that Your Excellency (…) bring it to the plenary session of the Assembly of the Republic for discussion and approval, as this is a matter of urgent national interest,” reads the letter signed by Venâncio Mondlane, interim president of the National Alliance for a Free and Autonomous Mozambique (Anamola), published on the politician’s official website.
In the document, the Anamola party suggests that the National Assembly, the Mozambican parliament, discuss the “specific amendment” to Law 1/2025, of April 11, and it has also submitted a preliminary proposal on the political commitment to an inclusive national dialogue, signed between the government and the political parties represented in the National Assembly, Provincial Assemblies, and Municipal Assemblies.
On March 5, Mozambican President Daniel Chapo, Mozambique’s main political parties, and some extra-parliamentary groups signed an agreement in Maputo focused on state reforms, as part of the political dialogue to end the country’s post-election crisis.
At the time, the head of state said that the signed political agreement opens “new perspectives” regarding state reforms, arguing that it is “not about people”, but that it marks a “new era” in the face of the post-election crisis.
Anamola acknowledges its lack of representation in the Assemblies, one of the criteria for being a signatory to the political agreement, but claims to represent a “significant segment of thousands of Mozambicans”, noting that its leader, Venâncio Mondlane, was the second-most voted presidential candidate in the 2024 elections and is a member of the Council of State.
The newly created party also mentioned the two meetings between Daniel Chapo and Venâncio Mondlane, whose purpose, it added, “is in the spirit of the ongoing dialogue”.
“These elements distinguish the signatory from the leaders of other political groups without representation in the aforementioned Assemblies. Therefore, based on the arguments (…) presented, unless otherwise understood, it is believed that the Anamola party has all the conditions to participate in the ongoing dialogue,” further reads the letter, dated August 21, 2025.
On his [Facebook] page, Venâncio Mondlane also states that the letter to the President of the Republic was followed by letters, “for information”, to the European Union delegation in Mozambique, to the parties that signed the dialogue, and to the two civil society organizations that are also part of the process.
“It is clear that the letter, signed by Venâncio Mondlane, interim president of Anamola, contains on the last page the stamps of receipt from the parties Frelimo [Mozambique Liberation Front], Renamo [Mozambican National Resistance], MDM [Mozambique Democratic Movement], and ND [New Democracy],” the politician concluded.
Last Tuesday, Venâncio Mondlane expressed his party Anamola’s intention to participate in the ongoing political dialogue in Mozambique, stating that he has ideas to submit for reforms to the state and the electoral system.
Anamola has scheduled its first national council for September 21st and 22nd, with the former presidential candidate acting as interim president of the party until then.
Mozambique has experienced intense social unrest since the October 9th general elections, with demonstrations and strikes called by Mondlane, who rejects the election results that gave victory to Daniel Chapo, supported by the ruling Frelimo party.
According to non-governmental organizations monitoring the electoral process, approximately 400 people died in clashes with the police, conflicts that ceased after two meetings between Mondlane and Chapo, aimed at pacifying the country.
