ROSARIO, Domingos Manuel do. The municipalities of “others”: Alternation of local power in Mozambique? A case study of Angoche. Cadernos de Estudos Africanos [online]. 2015, n.30, pp.135-165. ISSN 1645-3794.
The 2003 local elections are the beginning of the exercise of local power by Renamo in Angoche. Which are the drivers behind this electoral outcome? Adopting a socio-historical perspective, this article seeks to understand how the political and administrative evolution of these territories influenced the exercise of local power. It argues that the relationship between the people and the State and the design and implementation of the ‘municipalization’ process led by Frelimo, since 1994, did not create proper conditions for the development of political pluralism. Since the dominant political party can resort to State resources, it has the ability to strengthen its political and electoral bases.
