Less than a fortnight later, Renamo has abandoned its boycott.<\/p>\n<p>This was expected. Maintaining the boycott would mean losing the state subsidy paid to all parties with parliamentary representation. It would also mean that the 28 Renamo deputies would no longer receive their monthly parliamentary wage.<\/p>\n<p>Macome did not give an exact date for the Renamo deputies taking up their seats, but he insisted it will be soon.<\/p>\n<p>He also announced that the next meeting of the Renamo National Council will take place on 7-9 March, in the southern municipality of Vilanculo. This is the only municipality in southern Mozambique that Renamo controls.<\/p>\n<p>The National Council will certainly have to face demands from the membership for the removal of the party\u2019s President, Ossufo Momade. His uninspiring leadership is widely blamed for Renamo\u2019s poor showing in the October elections, when Renamo lost its position as runner-up to the relatively new opposition party, Podemos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mozambique<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
