Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican president recently said, during the closing of the 5th session of the Frelimo Central Committee, that the country \u201cmust reflect\u201d on the feasibility of the district elections scheduled for 2024.<\/p>\n

Filipe Nyusi stressed that his party was committed to the decentralisation process, but advocated that the conditions necessary for the deepening of this movement should be evaluated.<\/p>\n

Speaking to DW, Leonor de Sousa, secretary general of the Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM), was categorical.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that it is a question of looking for a way to try to revise the Constitution. What he [Filipe Nyusi] wants is to make a possible revision of the Constitution of the Republic and change other things. There is no doubt about it.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mozambique Frelimo youth wing defends unprecedented third term for Nyusi at the head of the party \u2013 Lusa<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has to think beforehand, think about the disadvantages, the damage that these changes could cause,\u201d she warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of pressure\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Leonor de Sousa looked back to before district elections was enshrined in the country\u2019s fundamental law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of pressure at the time, with Afonso Dhlakama still alive, and Frelimo didn\u2019t want to, but then it ended up accepting [the agreement] and the issue went to the Assembly of the Republic. It was discussed, and today it is in the Constitution of the Republic,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n

De Sousa stresses that the MDM will \u201ccomply with what is in the Constitution of the Republic\u201d, and that the party is \u201cin favour of holding district elections\u201d.<\/p>\n

When asked whether Mozambique\u2019s third-largest political party is prepared for these elections, Leonor de Sousa says that \u201cthe problem is not the MDM\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is that we also have to think about the people, the population. The population is prepared and already has expectations. And we were also preparing the population in that sense. We are doing politics. We are working to get there, to the districts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The choice of district assemblies and district administrators is part of the Peace and National Reconciliation Agreement signed in August 2019 between the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) government and the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo), the main opposition party, which maintains an armed wing that is in the process of Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR).<\/p>\n

Mozambique begins a new electoral cycle in 2023, with the holding of local elections, followed by presidential, legislative and provincial elections in 2024.<\/p>\n
