Mozambique: Elections & Protests

Mozambique is entering one of the most volatile political phases in its post-civil war history. Mozambique: Elections & Protests is a Strategic Political Intelligence Report that analyses the fallout from the country’s recent general elections, where the ruling Frelimo party claimed a landslide victory amid widespread allegations of vote-rigging and systemic repression of opposition voices.

This report examines how disputed results sparked nationwide protests that quickly turned violent, leading to deadly clashes between police and demonstrators across multiple cities. It dissects the role of President-elect Daniel Chapo, opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane, and the security apparatus in shaping a rapidly polarising environment. The analysis highlights how heavy-handed policing, media suppression, and institutional capture are accelerating public anger rather than containing it.

Beyond Mozambique’s borders, the report assesses regional implications for SADC, investor confidence, LNG projects in Cabo Delgado, and the risk of political contagion in Southern Africa. Scenario analysis outlines short-term escalation risks, medium-term reform pressures, and long-term consequences for democratic legitimacy and economic stability.

Designed for policymakers, investors, diplomats, security analysts, and Africa-focused risk professionals, this intelligence product turns protest imagery into strategic foresight.
