Mozambique's President Nyusi to stand for re-election in 2019

Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi says he will seek re-election in 2019. 

The governing Frelimo party confirmed the news after picking him as its candidate.

When he was elected in 2015, President Nyusi won 57 percent of the vote, well ahead of his closest rival Afonso Dhlakama, leader of the main opposition Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo) party, with 37 percent.
