Mozambique’s parliament unanimously passed the Political Commitment for an Inclusive Dialogue into law. The initiative aims to create platforms to discuss constitutional and political reforms in the country following the post-election violence in October 2024.
The new law stems from an agreement signed by President Daniel Chapo and nine political parties on March 5. It aims, among other things, to revise the constitution, amend presidential powers, and grant pardons to peaceful demonstrators convicted of unrest after the presidential poll. Venancio Mondlane, the presidential candidate who had contested the election results, did not sign the agreement but met with Chapo on March 23.
