Can trust be restored in Mozambique’s government? That’s the big question looming over the country as it heads into its general election on Oct. 9, 2024.

Who’s running? Expect another faceoff between the ruling Mozambique Liberation Front, aka Frelimo, and the opposition Mozambique National Resistance, or Renamo. President Filipe Nyusi is facing term-limit restrictions, and Frelimo has yet to choose a candidate to succeed him.

What to watch: Observers fear a violent election after municipal elections last October saw security services clash with Renamo supporters and journalists, internet shutdowns, and allegations of vote-tampering in what was declared a near-total victory for Frelimo.

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: The assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah saw "virtually no response," demonstrating Israel's ability to "strike their enemies with virtual impunity and with virtually no capacity for them to strike back effectively," says Ian Bremmer. This has politically bolstered Prime Minister Netanyahu from being blamed for the October 7th attacks to gaining more popularity.
