The unicameral Assembly of the Republic (Portuguese: Assembleia da República) is the legislative body of Mozambique.
The current parliament has 250 members who are directly elected through a system of party-list proportional representation and serve five-year terms. Parties must receive at least five percent of the vote nationally to gain parliamentary representation. Three parties are represented in the parliament: FRELIMO, RENAMO and the Democratic Movement of Mozambique. After the election, RENAMO MPs have refused to take office, since the party considered the electoral act had been fraudulent, but they resumed their duties in February 2015.[1]
