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. Parliamentary debates and business are conducted entirely in Portuguese. Three parties are represented in the parliament: FRELIMO, RENAMO and the Democratic Movement of Mozambique. After the 2014 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.[2]
Presidents of the Assembly
The President of the Assembly is the second-highest figure in the state hierarchy of Mozambique, and will replace the President of Mozambique in case of incapacity.[3]

gollark: This isn't for sandboxing, though, just undoing what CraftOS does.
gollark: This is what mine does.
gollark: ```lua-- hacky magic to run our code and not the BIOS stuff-- this terminates the shell, which crashes the BIOS, which then causes an error, which is printed with printErrorlocal old_printError = _G.printErrorfunction _G.printError() _G.printError = old_printError -- Multishell must die. term.redirect(term.native()) multishell = nil term.setTextColor(colors.yellow) term.setBackgroundColor(colors.black) term.setCursorPos(1,1) term.clear() _G.polychoron = {version = version, process = process} polychoron.polychoron = polychoron polychoron.BSOD = BSOD for n, p in pairs(base_processes) do process.spawn(p, n) end os.queueEvent "event" -- so that processes get one free "tick" run_loop()end os.queueEvent "terminate"```
gollark: PotatOS's potatoscheduler uses a TLCO thing to escape this and run its own main loop.
gollark: Your ĸode is run in `parallel` along with `rednet.run` by default.
