“My impression is that there are deadlocks within the governing coalition or stemming from the current crisis” – Professor José Jaime Macuane

Maputo (MOZTIMES)—This Wednesday marks one week since Daniel Chapo was sworn in as the fifth President of Mozambique, yet he has not completed his government. Out of 18 ministries, Chapo has so far appointed 12 ministers and the Prime Minister. Six ministers, including in key sectors such as Education, Labour, and Justice, remain to be appointed.
The delay in forming the government seems unjustifiable, given that since his nomination as Frelimo’s presidential candidate in May 2024, it was almost certain he would become President of Mozambique, considering Frelimo’s dominant status. Frelimo has governed Mozambique since independence and has been declared the winner of all multiparty elections held since 1994.
