Namibia’s President Nangolo Mbumba has extended his congratulations to Mozambique’s president-elect, Daniel Chapo, and the ruling party, FRELIMO, following their victory in the October 9 general elections. Despite the election results being contested in court, Mozambique’s Constitutional Council officially declared Chapo the winner on Monday, solidifying his position as the next leader of the nation.
In a formal message of goodwill, President Mbumba lauded Chapo’s leadership and expressed confidence in his ability to guide Mozambique toward unity, prosperity, and development.
“I wish to congratulate H.E. Daniel Chapo and FRELIMO for emerging victorious in the recently concluded general elections in Mozambique. As my dear brother, H.E. Daniel Chapo, and FRELIMO undertake this important mandate of service to the Mozambican nation, I am confident that President-elect Chapo will lead the people of Mozambique towards prosperity, unity, and greater heights of development,” stated President Mbumba.
President Mbumba’s message also emphasized the enduring historical ties between Namibia and Mozambique, which were forged during their shared struggles for liberation and self-determination. He underscored the importance of these ties as a foundation for enhanced cooperation between the two nations.
“Our shared history has always provided a solid foundation to strengthen economic cooperation,” he said. “The Government of Namibia looks forward to working with President-elect Daniel Chapo and the FRELIMO Government for continued fruitful bilateral relations in the interest of our people, peace, and a prosperous SADC region.”
Mbumba highlighted the significant opportunities for collaboration in areas such as trade, infrastructure development, and regional stability. He expressed optimism about the potential for the two nations to work together to address common challenges and promote sustainable growth across the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
