XII Frelimo Congress. The members of the new Central Committee are already known

The members who make up the new Frelimo Central Committee, elected at the twelfth party congress, that is in progress  in the city of Matola and which are due to close today, are already known.

The new body was elected on Monday night, after a voting process, which involved around 1,500 delegates at the party's twelfth Congress, which  is in progress  in the city of Matola, Maputo province.

The two hundred and fifty members elected to this body will be presented this Tuesday, according to Frelimo spokesman Caifadine Manasse:

 “These are positive results, this is an internal electoral process within our party and the candidates know that when advancing towards this process, there is 60 percent continuity and 40 percent renewal. 

It means that some cadres could be left out of the Committee and others would join and this is a process that happens whenever there is an election. 

We look at this process as the one in which the cadres are reinforced in the party, because there is an injection of new blood and Frelimo maintains its vitality, because it accompanies this type of processes in which there is continuity and renewal”, he said.
