Mozambicans go to the polls on 15 October 2019 in presidential, parliamentary and provincial elections. These are taking place in a tense political context and are expected to be the toughest yet for the ruling party Frelimo. This is owing to a declining economy (the result of large-scale corruption), the aftermath of devastating cyclones and insecurity in the north of the country. The elections are also a test for new decentralisation laws passed earlier this year.
