Mozambique’s political leaders have reached a unanimous agreement after extensive discussions, setting the stage for a formal signing on March 5 in the capital, Maputo. The agreement aims to introduce key reforms that will enhance political, economic, and social stability. State broadcaster Radio Mozambique (RM) reported the development on Friday.
President Daniel Chapo spoke to journalists after a dialogue session on Thursday, highlighting the positive progress. He stated that discussions had been constructive, with all parties working towards full consensus to ensure lasting stability. The latest session included representatives from municipal councils, alongside those from the Assembly of the Republic and provincial assemblies. Chapo emphasized that expanding participation was crucial for a more inclusive agreement.
He confirmed that all parties had reviewed the agreement and reached complete consensus. Key topics included electoral reforms, changes to the National Electoral Commission and the Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration, and potential amendments to the constitution and governance laws. These reforms aim to improve transparency, strengthen democratic institutions, and promote national unity.
The agreement will be signed at a formal ceremony attended by civil society organizations, non-parliamentary political groups, religious leaders, and academic representatives. Their involvement is expected to ensure broad support. Chapo also acknowledged the role of international partners and diplomatic representatives, emphasizing their contributions to Mozambique’s political and economic stability.
With the signing date approaching, expectations are high. Many hope this agreement will mark a turning point in Mozambique’s political landscape, strengthening governance and fostering long-term stability.
