Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s ruling party, the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) has named relatively unknown politician, Daniel Chapo, as its new leader.<\/b><\/p>\n

President Filipe Nyusi made the announcement on Sunday, dismissing speculation that he would stand a third time, despite the constitution limiting a president to two 5-year terms.<\/p>\n

This means that Chapo will be the party\u2019s presidential candidate in elections scheduled to take place in October.<\/p>\n

Frelimo has been in power since the country gained independence from Portugal in 1975 and hopes he will help extend its rule.<\/p>\n

Chapo\u2019s appointment came as a surprise. He has not served in the national cabinet and his name was not on most lists of potential candidates.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old law graduate and former radio announcer was appointed a provincial governor in 2016. Before that, he taught constitutional law and political science.<\/p>\n
