Debate between the candidates for president of the Mozambique Bar Association, Tomás Timbane e Lourenço Malia

The Joaquim Chissano International Conference Centre was the venue for a debate yesterday between the candidates for the presidency of the Mozambique Bar Association. Lourenço Malia, who heads list A, and Tomás Timbane, international partner at GLM - Gabinete Legal de Moçambique, a member of PLMJ International Legal Network, who heads list B, spent two and a half hours presenting their ideas for the future of the association and answering a number of questions from the audience of lawyers and trainee lawyers.

The debate was based on the American model and it's main objective was to allow those voting in the election to interact with the candidates in the first person. This is the first time the Bar Association has held a debate of this type between the candidates for president.

At the end of the debate, both candidates expressed their confidence and are looking forward to the election tomorrow.
