Armando Guebuza
Quick Summary
Armando Guebuza served as the president of Mozambique from 2005 to 2015. He was the presidential candidate for the Frelimo party, which has dominated Mozambican politics since the country gained independence from Portugal in 1975. Guebuza's presidency followed that of Joaquim Chissano and preceded Filipe Nyusi. During his tenure, Frelimo maintained a majority in the legislature, though the party's seat share saw a decrease in the 2014 elections. Guebuza was constitutionally barred from a third term, leading to Frelimo selecting Filipe Nyusi as their candidate for the 2014 elections.123
