" The Policy Commission , pursuant to Article 61 , no3 , point j ) of the Statute of the Frelimo Central Committee decided to propose to pre - candidates Frelimo candidate for the office of President of the Republic of Mozambique , in the presidential elections 2014 , the comrades members of the Commission policy Candugua Jose Pacheco , Alberto Clementino Vaquina and Member of Central Committee , Philip Nhussi " the statement said .   The Central Committee meeting which will decide on who among the three pre applicants will in fact be the Frelimo candidate for the presidential , will take place on the 22nd of December current , school Frelimo in Matola .   But these names were actually found in the meeting was on Saturday , December 07, in the village of Namaacha , Maputo province . Guebuza met the Policy Committee without the right to press coverage or secretariat. With these three pre - candidates Frelimo solves an old but nagging problem of regionalization . All of them are native to central and northern areas , which means first Frelimo have a candidate who is not in the south zone of the country. The three contenders are all considered dolphins Guebuza . So , once again confirms the imposition of the will of Armando Guebuza . Reportedly the bet Armando Guebuza is even Jose Pacheco , now Minister of Agriculture and head of the government delegation negotiating the political and military crisis with Renamo . Alberto Vaquina is preferably Daisy Talapa , head of the Frelimo in parliament , one of the strongest female ward Guebuza . Philip Nyussi is seen as the man who will do the " paper candidate" , but no chance of being chosen by the Central Committee.

It is known that Chissano ward had also prepared their candidates, including Luisa Diogo , former Prime Minister , Edward Mulémbwè , former President of the National Assembly and Aeneas Corniche , former mayor of the city of Maputo . Guebuza as the wing is controlling the entire Politburo , these names did not reap sympathy , because the relationship with the ward Guebuza is not healthy . These members , seen as competent and intellectual side , have been permanently fought side by Guebuza at this point seems to have complete control over the party . December 22 is the day of all the decisions , but the note is settled that Guebuza has control over any of the three qualifying candidates, which means that if the Frelimo candidate wins the presidential elections in practice Armando Guebuza will continue to driving through the country where party president. Strategy was found by Guebuza not to relinquish power . ( CM)
