Protests Continue in Mozambique After Frelimo Presidential Candidate Daniel Chapo Wins Election

HeadlineOct 25, 2024

In Mozambique, protests broke out after Daniel Chapo of the ruling Frelimo party was announced the winner of a disputed presidential election on Thursday.

Maputo resident: “I don’t believe that Frelimo won. I think Frelimo did what they always do. What’s happening today is people are suffering.”

Chapo’s biggest rival, Venâncio Mondlane, has called on supporters to keep taking to the streets in protest. Earlier this week, police deployed tear gas and fired on demonstrators who rallied after the murder of Mondlane’s lawyer and a party official. Issues in this year’s election included Mozambique’s debt crisis, corruption, climate change-driven disasters and a violent insurgency in the north of the country.
