The current president, Filipe Nyusi, is ineligible to run again after serving for two consecutive terms, leaving the country's top job up for grabs. A dozen presidential candidates have joined the race, with the ruling FRELIMO party candidate Daniel Chapo emerging as a frontrunner. He is being challenged by independent Venancio Mondlane and the leaders of Mozambique's two other largest parties, Ossufo Momade and Lutero Simango. Voters will also choose who will occupy the 250 seats in the country's unicameral parliament. Here, the left-wing FRELIMO is also expected to secure a majority.

Mozambique to Vote in General Election on Wednesday
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Mozambicans will head to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president amid a years-long jihadist insurgency in the north and drought-induced hunger plaguing the population of some 33 million.
The current
president, Filipe Nyusi, is ineligible to run again after serving for two consecutive terms, leaving the country's top job up for grabs.
A dozen presidential candidates have joined the race, with the ruling FRELIMO party candidate
Daniel Chapo emerging as a frontrunner. He is being challenged by independent Venancio Mondlane and the leaders of Mozambique's two other largest parties, Ossufo Momade and Lutero Simango.
Voters will also choose who will occupy the 250 seats in the country's unicameral parliament. Here, the left-wing FRELIMO is also expected to secure a majority.
