Abstract
In 1994, Mozambique put an end to a protracted civil war through a peace agreement premised on the construction of multiparty democracy. This article explores the impact on the two major parties of participation in the first term of the multiparty legislature (1994-99), with contrasting effects for Frelimo and Renamo as party organisations, and with important implications for longer term democratic outcomes. These different effects for the two parties result from the same phenomenon: attempts by each party's dominant coalition to maximise its own authority and control, in the face of the organisational challenges and opportunities posed by this new political arena.
