Mozambique’s National Election Commission (CNE) has received candidacy proposals from 39 parties and three coalitions for the legislative and provincial elections on 15 October, it said on Tuesday.
The figures are part of the CNE’s balance sheet on the submission of candidacy proposals, which ended on Monday.
Rodrigues Timba, a member of the CNE, cited on Tuesday by the daily newspaper Notícias, said that it will schedule in the coming days the beginning of the delivery of the necessary requirements for participation in the legislative and provincial elections.
The act that ended on Monday consisted only in the written expression of interest.
The presentation is underway and should end on 16 July.
So far, only the Mozambican Liberation Front (Frelimo), the party in power, and the Mozambican Democratic Movement (MDM), the third-largest political force, have expressed their intention to participate for the Presidential Council (CC).
The Mozambican National Resistance (RENAMO), the main opposition party, has not yet presented the proposal for presidential candidacy.
The general elections of 15 October will be the sixth multi-party elections to take place in the history of the country, after the completion of the first, in 1994, following the approval of a democratic constitution in 1990.
