General elections were held in Mozambique between 27 and 29 October 1994 to elect a president and the Assembly of the Republic . It was the first time the country had had multi-party elections, as previously FRELIMO had been the sole legal party. Nevertheless, FRELIMO maintained control of the country's political system, winning both elections. Voter turnout for the elections was 88%.[1]
