Legislators from Mozambique’s ruling Frelimo and those of the Optimistic People for the Development of Mozambique (Podemos), the party that backed opposition leader Venancio Mondlane in the last elections, turned up at Parliament for the swearing-in ceremony on Monday, amid a boycott by other opposition parties.
The MPs elected in the October 9, 2024 elections were expected to be sworn into the 10th Parliament, but Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo) and Movement for Democracy (MDM) MPs-elect did not show up.
