		Guebuza is scheduled to leave Lyon on Monday and fly to New York, here he will take part in a special United Nations summit, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the world organisation.
		In Guebuza's view, disagreement over agenda points did not make the summit invalid - rather, it was an opportunity for further dialogue that might lead to a solution, in the future, if not at the summit itself.

		Guebuza joined Frelimo in 1963, when he was chairperson of the Mozambique Secondary School Students Association (NESAM), and he was involved in the top leadership of the war against colonialism that brought Mozambique’s independence from Portugal.

	AEGiS-AP: Mozambique Ruling Party Candidate Named Pres Vote Winner
		MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP) - Ruling party presidential candidate Armando Guebuza was declared the winner Tuesday in an election marred by voter apathy so overwhelming that it raised questions about the health of Mozambique's emerging democracy.
		Mozambique's Electoral Commission said Guebuza got 64% of the presidential vote, and that his ruling Frelimo party took control of the 251-seat Parliament by winning 161 seats in the Dec. 1-2 vote.
		Most observers had predicted the election would be so close that it would require a runoff between Guebuza, a wealthy businessman and former controversial interior minister, and Dhlakama, a former right-wing guerrilla leader in Mozambique's 16-year civil war.

		Mr Guebuza, who was chosen to succeed outgoing President Joaquim Chissano (FRELIMO), was widely expected to win the Mozambican presidential poll as RENAMO - a former rebel group supported by apartheid South Africa - recently has declined in public support.
		While Mr Guebuza today earned the official recognition of the CNE, his scheduled succession of President Chissano in March 2005 is still far from assured.

	earlywarning: Mozambique's Hopes
		The victory of the candidate of the ruling Frelimo party, Armando Guebuza, in presidential elections at the end of last year with 64 per cent of the vote was flawed by 'irregularities' reported by observers.
		His attempt to secure a third term was, however, frustrated by Guebuza, an astute business leader as well as one of Frelimo's founding fathers who headed the party machine and developed links with business - becoming known as 'Mr Guebusiness'.
		Though Guebuza will be hard pressed to maintain recent levels of growth, Mozambique's record suggests that even the strains of decolonisation and brutal civil war can be overcome given economic pragmatism, a spirit of reconciliation and a little help from overseas friends.

		Armando Guebuza, who won 63.7 % of the vote, received a mandate to become the new president of Mozambique, while Afonso Dhlakama received only 31.7%.
		For his part, and in a somewhat anticipated fashion, Dhlakama reconsidered RENAMO’s threats to boycott parliament, and ‘for the sake of peace and stability’ as he put it, RENAMO took its seats in the assembly of the republic.

		The radio's parallel count on Saturday night had shown Armando Guebuza, presidential candidate of the ruling Frelimo Party, with almost two and a half times as many votes as Dhlakama.
		By Sunday night, the gap had narrowed, and Guebuza had less than twice as many votes as Dhlakama (1.17 million to 0.63 million).
		But this is still an enormous difference, and it seems quite impossible for Dhlakama to overtake Guebuza - particularly as many of the polling stations not yet included in these results come from the Frelimo strongholds of Maputo city and province.

		Preliminary results from general elections held earlier this month (Dec. 1 and 2) show that its presidential candidate, Armando Guebuza, has taken a comfortable lead in the poll.
		During the election campaign, Frelimo characterized itself as a "Force for Change", while Guebuza claimed that a victory for the ruling party would herald further reforms in the public sector.
		However, political researcher Marcelo Mosse says Guebeza’s considerable business interests may open the candidate to charges of conflict of interest if he wins the election, particularly in the absence of clear cut rules "that regulate the role of a president-businessman".
