Mozambican President Daniel Chapo has stressed the urgency of revising the country’s election legislation, and the laws on decentralisation. According to Club of Mozambique, he was speaking to reporters after meeting with the leaders of parties represented in the country’s Parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, and in municipal assemblies – namely Albino Forquilha, of Podemos; Ossufo Momade, of Renamo, Lutero Simango of the Mozambique Democratic Movement – and also with the leader of a party which is not represented in Parliament; Salomao Muchanga, of New Democracy. Conspicuous by his absence was the runner-up in the October Presidential election, Venancio Mondlane. Chapo said the reforms, which could culminate in amending the Constitution, seek to promote peace, security, and economic, social and political stability. He claimed that all the parties represented at the meeting are ‘united and aligned’ on the need for reform, and that terms of reference have been drawn up, arising from the previous meetings between the political leaders. Chapo did not make these terms of reference public. He suggested that it could eventually be signed by the political leaders as a binding commitment.
