A leadership election is underway within Mozambique's ruling Frelimo party in Gaza province this Saturday. Three candidates are vying for the position of first secretary, the top leadership role. The election follows the selection of 100 members of the Provincial Committee, who will ultimately decide the new leader. This process occurs roughly a month after a significant restructuring of Frelimo within the province. The election is expected to conclude in the early hours of Sunday. The outcome will be crucial for the party’s direction in Gaza. This internal contest signifies a period of change and potential new strategies for Frelimo in the region.
