Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>O\u0301scar Monteiro, a historic militant of the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo, the ruling party), demanded on Thursday that Filipe Nyusi\u2019s succession to the presidency be included on the agenda of the organisation\u2019s veterans\u2019 meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an elephant in this room (…) the succession to power, we\u2019re too late, and we risk losing [in next October\u2019s general elections] if we continue on this path,\u201d said O\u0301scar Monteiro.<\/p>\n

The activist was speaking directly to the president of Mozambique and Frelimo, Filipe Nyusi, at the start of the meeting of the National Council of the Association of National Liberation Struggle Combatants (ACLLIN), a political arm of the ruling party.<\/p>\n

\u201cSociety also has other expectations of this meeting. Unfortunately, our Central Committee has not been up to the task, let me say with the same frankness with which we should speak and which should characterise us during this meeting,\u201d said O\u0301scar Monteiro.<\/p>\n

The veteran of the national liberation struggle said he hoped that relations with the current head of state and leader of Frelimo would \u201ccontinue to be as good and fraternal as they have been\u201d, following his stance on the succession.<\/p>\n

O\u0301scar Monteiro joined Frelimo when the ruling party was still an armed movement fighting Portuguese colonialism and was a minister after the country\u2019s independence in 1975.<\/p>\n

ACLLIN\u2019s agenda does not include the item on the choice of Frelimo\u2019s candidate for next October\u2019s presidential elections, for which the current President of the Republic and of the party cannot run again because he has already reached the two-term limit allowed by the Constitution of the Republic.<\/p>\n

Frelimo\u2019s Central Committee will meet on Friday and Saturday in the city of Matola, Maputo province, but the agenda for the meeting has not yet been released.<\/p>\n

The secretary general of ACLLIN, Fernando Faustino, recently said that the next meeting of the Central Committee would not include a debate on Filipe Nyusi\u2019s succession.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I know, on the 5th and 6th, the Central Committee will meet and already has its agenda for that meeting and, as far as I know, the issue of succession or presidential candidates is not on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Faustino dismissed comments that the process of choosing a party candidate for the October presidential elections is dragging on, stressing that \u201cFrelimo is organising itself on time\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s relative, delay in relation to what,\u201d asked the ACLLIN secretary-general, acknowledging, however, that \u201cit\u2019s not an easy process\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fernando Faustino defended the party\u2019s need to select a candidate who matches the aspirations of the Mozambican population and has proven competence.<\/p>\n

Mozambique will hold its seventh presidential and legislative elections on 9 October, the second for provincial governors and the fourth for provincial assemblies.<\/p>\n
