The National Alliance for a Free and Autonomous Mozambique (ANAMOLA) party will not take part in tomorrow's launch of the public consultation for a National and Inclusive Dialogue (DNI).

The information was shared earlier this evening in Maputo by the party's interim Secretary General, Messias Uarreno, who revealed that the decision was taken because there had been no response to a request to join the Technical Commission for National and Inclusive Dialogue (COTE).

In his speech, he recalled that Mondlane "was the most voted presidential candidate" in the October 2024 elections, and that the country experienced almost a quarter of post-election demonstrations of popular protest at the results.

"The ANAMOLA party has requested in writing to be included on an equal footing in the work of the COTE, and has not received a response to date... Therefore, as a sign of respect, the ANAMOLA party will not be present at the ceremonies for the launch of the consultations to be held tomorrow, October 6, 2025, in the provincial capitals," he announced.

On August 25, ANAMOLA sent a letter to the President of the Republic, Daniel Chapo, proposing that it be included in the country's ongoing DNI and asking for the matter to be discussed in parliament.

On September 10, Mondlane clarified that the party wants to be part of the DNI's technical commission, after Chapo discarded letters and requests to be part of the process.

The ANAMOLA party, although excluded from the "Inclusive" Political Dialogue, will present its contributions to the Technical Commission for a National and Inclusive Political Dialogue "COTE", as part of the reforms of the CRM and the Electoral Laws that are proposed in the "Inclusive" Political Dialogue, wrote Mondlane on his Facebook page on September 21.

"As soon as COTE begins its consultations, ANAMOLA will, in parallel, carry out its public consultation with citizens and will then deposit with COTE the results of the opinions expressed by the Mozambican people," Mondlane added in the same message.

Also today, Uarreno assured that the party will send COTE the final contributions to its parallel consultation by December 15, with the main aim of revising the Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique.

ANAMOLA wants the review to focus on the Organic Law of the National Electoral Commission; the Electoral Registration Law; and electoral laws for representation in representative assemblies at various levels and the election of the President of the Republic.
