Presidential candidates must submit 10,000 notarised signatures to the Constitutional Council by Sunday 16 June. So far, only Frelimo has submitted the signatures for Filipe Nyusi.
Parties must register to stand, and by yesterday (Monday 10 June) 17 parties had submitted their documents, including the three main parties: Frelimo, Renamo and MDM. There are two new parties appealing to youth, of which Podemos has submitted its documents. The other is Nova Democracia, founded by the former president of the youth parliament, Salomao Muchanga. He says 80% of the party’s candidates must be between 21 and 35 years old. Parties must submit their documents to the CNE by Saturday 15 June.
