When is the Mozambique general election 2029?

Polling day is 2029-10-15, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the President of the Republic race be official?

Expected between 2029-10-24T22:00:00Z and 2029-10-30T21:59:59Z (UTC), confidence announced. The CNE's general tally (apuramento geral): the CNE centralises the provincial results for the presidential candidates (art. 118) and its President announces the results 'num prazo máximo de 15 dias contados a partir da data do encerramento da votação' (art. 123), i.e. by Tue 30 Oct 2029; the window closes at the end of that day CAT. The CNE then sends the minutes and official maps to the Constitutional Council (arts. 122, 126). Precedents: 2024, vote 9 Oct, CNE announced on 24 Oct, day 15 (EU EOM 2024 final report; Renascença, 24 Oct 2024); 2019, vote 15 Oct, CNE announced on 27 Oct, day 12 (Renascença, 27 Oct 2019). The opening (day 10) is an ESTIMATED floor. NOT DEFINITIVE: these figures only become final when the Constitutional Council validates and proclaims them (court-validation stage). In 2024 the Council's validated result differed substantially from the CNE's: the leading presidential candidate's share fell from 70.67% to 65.17%, and 24 Assembly seats moved between lists (EU EOM 2024 final report). The CNE's website (www.cne.org.mz) showed only an empty directory listing on 2 Oct 2026, so there is no CNE results page to cite.

precedent

Required: Lei 8/2013 art. 127: the Constitutional Council, after deciding the complaints and appeals, assesses the CNE's minutes and editais of the national centralisation of the presidential results 'para efeitos de validação e proclamação', and publishes them in the Boletim da República. Lei n.º 2/2022 (Organic Law of the Council) arts. 124-125: distribution within 2 days, 3-day reviews by each judge and the Public Prosecutor, a plenary within 3 days after, 10 days to draft the acórdão, and the public proclamation the day after its adoption. No overall deadline: 'A lei não fixa um prazo para o CC declarar os resultados' (EU EOM 2024 final report). Precedents: 2024, the Council proclaimed the results of the 9 Oct vote on Mon 23 Dec 2024 at 15:00, day 75 (Council's own notice of 22 Dec 2024, cconstitucional.org.mz); 2019, Acórdão n.º 25/CC/2019 dated 22 Dec 2019, day 68 (as reported; the text was not read). The opening, day 30, is an ESTIMATED floor from the procedural steps. The window closes at the end of 14 Jan 2030 CAT, day 91: the President-elect was invested on 15 Jan in both 2020 and 2025 (Observador, 2 Jan 2025), so validation is expected before that date. If no candidate wins more than half of the valid votes, the Council's validation opens a second round between the top two (art. 133), held 'até 30 dias após a validação e proclamação dos resultados do primeiro sufrágio' (art. 147(1)) on a date set by the President on the CNE's proposal: on the precedents that falls in January 2030, so no runoff file is profiled.
