Mozambique is set to swear in its new parliament on Monday, following months of deadly protests over an election in October that the opposition said was rigged.

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.

Opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, who is popular with Mozambique’s youth, asserts results were rigged in favor of ruling Frelimo party that has been in power for 50 years

The ceremony at the National Assembly saw 250 lawmakers sworn in, but about 30 seats remained vacant as the two main opposition parties—Renamo and the Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM)—boycotted the event.

It seems the post election violence in Mozambique is far from over. Opposition leader Venancio Mondlane has called on his supporters to take to the streets again. Mondlane says Frelimo's decision to exclude him from negotiations is a declaration of war.
