By non-secret voting, the 210 representatives of the People's Assembly called Parliament of Mozambique were confirmed. Ahead of the elections in February 1977 FRELIMO had declared on his 3rd party congress its transformation from a guerrilla organization to a Marxist- Leninist vanguard party and an electoral law had been enacted.
It was not about elections in the sense of free, equal and secret voting to obtain representative representatives of different groups, but to a series of meetings at which a candidate list without discussion has been confirmed. The Central Committee of the ruling party FRELIMO in each case was a list of " candidate ", which was confirmed unanimously by the various meetings by raising of hands. So representatives were for " people's assemblies " determined at the local and city level ( or confirmed ), after they had answered on public gatherings questions. These were thus representative for the higher level ( district and province). At the top of this sequence indirectly elected representatives was the People's Assembly of Mozambique.
On December 23, 1977, as certain people's assembly of Mozambique held its first meeting.
