		Frelimo holds Chissano's decision was to be considered as of "elevated dignity, political consciousness by a great statesman with a vision of the future for both his people and his country." The committee thus accepted the President's decision to retire.
		Chissano originally told his party he did not intend to run for a third term already in May, though many analysts held this statement to be a move to provoke a popular demand for his candidature.
		Chissano, showing political sportsmanship, announced his party needed to find another younger candidate to fulfil the aim of "making Mozambique a more prosperous country." He further maintains the decision was not taken by him alone, but "collectively within the party," underlining the democratic processes working with Frelimo.
