Mozambique
Elections
The ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) party formally abandoned Marxism in 1989, and a new constitution the following year provided for multiparty elections and a free market economy. A UN-negotiated peace agreement between Frelimo and rebel Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo) forces ended the fighting in 1992.
In December 2004, Mozambique underwent a delicate transition as Joaquim Chissano stepped down after 18 years in office. His elected successor, Armando Emilio Guebuza, promised to continue the sound economic policies that have encouraged foreign investment.
Although the elections were under the supervision of the Jimmy Carter Centre, the question was of it were fair elections. The only party that had the capacity to pay for a campaign was the Frelimo party. While Guebuza had a helicopter to run over the country most other parties had only a bike.
