Polls open across Mozambique, with 13 million people registered to vote in presidential, parliamentary and provincial elections

Polls opened across Mozambique on Tuesday, with 13 million voters registered to cast ballots in presidential, parliamentary, and provincial elections seen as key to consolidating peace in the southern African nation.

Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi speaks with the press after voting in Maputo, Mozambique, on October, 15, 2019. President Felipe Nyusi, who voted as polls opened, is expected to win a second term in a vote where insecurity and political tensions might keep some people from the polls. The opposition Renamo's candidate and new leader Ossufo Momade is expected to benefit from Renamo's popularity, particularly in the countryside. Also seeking the presidency is opposition MDM candidate Daviz Simango, the mayor of Beira city, which suffered badly in the devastating Cyclone Idai earlier this year.
