Africa-Press – Mozambique. The National Alliance for a Free and Autonomous Mozambique (Anamola) party, founded and led by politician Venâncio Mondlane, has registered over 64,000 members in the first ten days since its official launch, according to data released on Monday.
The information was shared by party spokesperson Dinis Tivane on his Facebook page, highlighting the rapid growth of the political movement, which was launched on 20 September in Sofala province, central Mozambique.
“We already have over 64,000 members, and we haven’t even been in the country for ten days,” he wrote, noting strong interest in the new political group. According to Tivane, 64,260 members have so far registered online.
On 21 September, during the party’s first National Council, held in Beira, interim president Venâncio Mondlane outlined the goal of reaching three million members through a digital registration process.
“We will strengthen our defences, and I believe that by the next national convention, Anamola will have at least three to three and a half million registered and verified members — with absolute certainty,” he said.
The politician, a former presidential candidate in the 9 October general elections, also stated that the party he founded aims to end the “slavery” and “theft” of Mozambicans.
The Anamola party was officially approved on 15 August by the Ministry of Justice, Constitutional and Religious Affairs of Mozambique, following a registration application submitted in April. The party has announced it will elect its president at its congress in June 2026, promising a democratic process open to all candidates.
Mozambique has experienced a period of intense social unrest since the 9 October general elections, with demonstrations and strikes led by Mondlane, who rejects the results that gave victory to Daniel Chapo, the Frelimo-backed candidate.
According to non-governmental organisations monitoring the electoral process, around 400 people died in clashes with police. The violence came to an end following two meetings between Mondlane and Chapo, aimed at pacifying the country.
