Elections in Mozambique: A smooth journey, or a hurdle to skip?

The policy brief focuses on the security risks associated with Mozambique's fifth democratic election in October 2014, specifically regarding the role of Renamo and the need for sustainable measures to address rebel demands regardless of the election outcome to maintain a tenuous peace process.

• The October 2014 presidential election is a critical point in Mozambique's peace process, with Renamo showing a renewed interest in a negotiated ceasefire to allow leader Afonso Dhlakama to run as a candidate.
• There is a significant need to plan for post-election security challenges, particularly the reactions of opposition parties and the sustainable management of remaining Renamo rebels.
