João Lourenço’s MPLA, which has been in power for decades, declared winners but opposition Unita rejects results
Angola’s electoral commission has declared the incumbent president, João Lourenço, and the ruling People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) winners of last week’s elections.
The polls were the most tightly contested vote in the country’s democratic history, and have been described by analysts as an “existential moment”.
