Mozambique’s National Electoral Commission has said the governing Frelimo party’s candidate, Daniel Chapo, won the election and will succeed President Filipe Nyusi as the party leader, extending Frelimo’s 49-year rule. Libya’s political process and national reconciliation efforts were the focus of discussions between Abdullah Al-Lafi, vice president of the Presidential Council, and U.N. Deputy Special Envoy Stephanie Koury. Some Somali Americans living in Somalia are closely monitoring the U.S. presidential elections, focusing on foreign policy and investment in Africa, while participating by casting absentee ballots.
