Mozambique Vote 2014

document

An analytical report titled "The 2014 General Elections in Mozambique: Analysis of Fundamental Questions" was launched at an elections round-table in Maputo on 7th October, 2014. The paper was commissioned by OSISA and AfRO as part of engagement with elections in Mozambique. The analysis was done by Professor Joao Pereira Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Eduardo Mondlane University, and Ernesto Nhanale of the School of journalism at the same university. The round-table was convened by Centro de Integridade Publica (CIP) and the Civil Society Support Mechanism (MASC).

The report now available on the AfriMAP website in both English and Portuguese, seeks to bring together the various elements that outline the context for the 2014 general election in Mozambique. It highlights the process and historical context of the amendment of the electoral laws, marked by the further politicisation of the electoral bodies. The report describes the socio-economic and political context in which the elections will take place and provides a context for the voter registration process, voter participation and the role of the media in political processes in Mozambique. In addition, the study seeks to analyse the nature of the electoral bodies, and the implications of how they have been formed for the management of the 2014 elections.
