Mozambique's ruling Frelimo party has chosen regional governor Daniel Chapo as its new leader, making him the successor to President Filipe Nyusi if the party wins this year's elections, Nyusi said late on Sunday.
Frelimo's central committee elected Chapo over three other internal candidates, in a surprise move that followed two days of intense debate, a high number of spoiled ballot papers and the withdrawal of his closest rival.
