List of Mozambican parties

The list of Mozambican parties lists the parties in Mozambique according to their approximate importance compared to the results of the 2004 elections.

The country's politics have been ruled by since independence

• Frente da Libertação de Moçambique , FRELIMO for short, the former state party as well
• Resistência Nacional Moçambicana , RENAMO for short, their former opponent in the Mozambican civil war .

In recent times, this constellation of two has been dissolved, especially at the expense of RENAMO:

• The Movimento Democrático de Moçambique (MDM) party, founded at the beginning of 2009, ran for the presidential , parliamentary and provincial elections in 2009 and, despite the short preparation time, achieved respectable successes, especially in former RENAMO strongholds. In the local elections in 2013, MDM was the only party besides FRELIMO to run in all 53 "municipios" of the country and won an average of more than a third of the votes.

It is also worth mentioning

• Partido para a Paz, Democracia e Desenvolvimento (PDD), which was the only party in the 2004 presidential election in Mozambique and the 2004 parliamentary elections in Mozambique to get out of the alcohol range . Specifically, the party received 2% and 2.7%, respectively.

such as

• Partido Independente de Moçambique (PIMO), an Islamic party that has run regularly in all national elections since the 1990s and won between 0.6 and 1.4 percent of the vote.

None of the other parties received even three percent of the vote in a national election nationwide. In the penultimate elections in 2004, 12 parties did not run independently, but as part of an electoral coalition centered around RENAMO called Renamo-União Eleitoral , which dissolved again soon afterwards.
