Mozambique will hold its seventh presidential and legislative elections on October 9, the second for provincial governors and the fourth for provincial assemblies
The Central Committee of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo), in power since 1975 chose to support Daniel Francisco Chapo, governor of the province of Inhambane, as a candidate for President of the Republic in the general elections on October 9th.
The choice of Daniel Chapo by the Central Committee, which has 254 members, came only on the third day of that body’s extraordinary meeting, held recently. Daniel Chapo won the internal election with 225 votes (94.1%) from the members of the Central Committee.
Daniel Chapo, 47 years old, will be the candidate to succeed Filipe Nyusi, President of the Republic since 2014, who is also president of Frelimo, and who can no longer run for office in these elections, as he has reached the constitutional limit of two terms.
Graduated in Law from the Faculty of Law of Eduardo Mondlane University, in Maputo, in 2000, Daniel Francisco Chapo was born in Inhaminga, Sofala province, central Mozambique, on January 6, 1977, making him the first Frelimo candidate born after the country’s independence (1975).
Daniel Francisco Chapo took the Conservator and Notary course in 2004 and ten years later completed a master’s degree in Development Management from the Catholic University of Mozambique. He also taught Constitutional Law and Political Science, worked as an announcer at Rádio Miramar, in the city of Beira, and was appointed conservator for the Nacala-Porto district in 2005.
