Mozambican ruling Party Fremilo's Filipe Nyusi delivered a speech during his party's last general election campaign rally on October 12, 2019 in Matola, Mozambique .

If he wins, he will face high expectations as one of Africa's poorest countries seeks to combat jihadism while exploiting gas riches. A: There is a central committee, made up of 250 elected party members, with representation from all 11 provinces, and a political commission, which has 19 members, including the incumbent president and the party secretary-general.

The central committee, still dissatisfied with the list, requested additional candidates for consideration, though to its surprise – and consternation – on 5 May there appeared two of Nyusi's allies, without regard for the central committee's own recommendations. After the first round of voting, Chapo and Silva emerged as the top two contenders, with 41.2% and 30% of the vote, respectively.
