Frelimo respects the laws, he added, so there was no reason to speculate about new term limits.<\/p>\n<p>Nyusi also encouraged party members to support Chapo in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>Since Mozambique\u2019s independence in 1975, all heads of state have been nominated by Frelimo. <\/p>\n<p>The party has won all elections since multi-party democracy was introduced 30 years ago at the end of a crippling 16-year civil war which left over one million people dead and five million others internally displaced. <\/p>\n<p>Chapo has been governor of Inhambane province since 2016. He holds a master\u2019s degree in development management from a university in Mozambique. Prior to entering politics, he taught constitutional law and political science at the Universidade Catolica in the port city of Beira, and worked as an announcer at a private radio station in the same city. <\/p>\n<p>After being confirmed as Frelimo\u2019s candidate, Chapo promised to work to promote the country\u2019s economic development. <\/p>\n<p>If elected, Chapo will become Mozambique\u2019s fourth democratically elected head of state. <\/p>\n<p>Chapo is viewed by analysts as a leader who may be able to restore security in the troubled oil- and gas-rich province of Cabo Delgado, where Islamic State-linked insurgents have been terrorizing civilians and destroying public infrastructure since 2017, forcing the interruption of multibillion-dollar projects. <\/p>\n<p>The violence has continued despite support by troops from other countries of the Southern African Development Community, and soldiers from Rwanda. <\/p>\n<p>Economic analyst and university lecturer Alcidio Bachita has high hopes for Chapo. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is an individual who has not been accused of any corruption schemes,\u201d Bachita said. \u201cAnd I believe that this change of leadership will open a new page in the history of Mozambique, given that he is a young man and was born after [the] independence period of the country. So I believe that the economy of Mozambique will witness a great performance in the coming years.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mozambique will hold its seventh presidential and legislative elections on October 9.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for presenting lists of candidates for president to the Constitutional Council is June 10. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
