The agreement stipulated that independence would be proclaimed after a transitional period, during which internal power would be divided between both parties by creating a joint transitional government, which was formed on September 20, 1974 under the chairmanship of the representative of FRELIMO. The declaration of independence of Mozambique was scheduled for June 25, 1975 , the thirteenth anniversary of the creation of FRELIMO.
