The next national and presidential elections are not due until late 2014. However, before then jockeying for position among potential successors to Mr Guebuza-who cannot serve another term in office-is likely. The political opposition will undergo radical and much-needed change over the next few years, as the previously dominant opposition party, Resistência Nacional de Moçambique (Renamo), is in disarray and may gradually be supplanted by a new challenger, the Movimento Democrático de Moçambique, to which it is losing talent and support.
