Mozambique's ruling party, Frelimo took its campaign trail to Zimbabwe as it consolidates the ground and reaches out to its registered voters ahead of the presidential and legislative elections slated for October 9, 2024.
"Mozambican authorities have set 60 polling stations across the country, which we think are enough for our voters.
"Our aim is to ensure voters cast their vote close to their doorsteps in their respective provinces," he said.
Frelimo, Cde Mafupe said, launched its campaigns on August 24, in Bindura, Mashonaland Central and has covered most parts of the country.
"As a revolutionary party, we are certain that the 33 238 registered voters will vote for Frelimo. We are certain that our presidential candidate Daniel Francisco Chapo will win resoundingly.
"We would like to appreciate the support rendered to us by Zanu PF as sister revolutionary parties. Our common cause is to defeat the agency of imperialists in the region.
"Zimbabwe and Mozambique are like twins. Our Presidents are united, Frelimo liberated Mozambique, just like what Zanu PF did in Zimbabwe. We need liberation movements to continue governing their countries to guard against re-colonisation," he said.
