Angolan president proposes August 24 for general elections

Luanda, Jun 3 (Prensa Latina) President João Lourenço on Friday proposed August 24 to hold the general elections in Angola, in a consultation with the Council of the Republic.

In front of the collegiate body, the president recalled that the national legislation establishes the requirement to hear the opinion of the National Electoral Commission (CNE) and the Council, before the official call is carried out.

The Council is composed of representatives of the Executive and Legislative powers, as well as the leaders of all political parties with seats in Parliament, among other institutions, whose meeting takes place at the Council of Ministers hall of the Presidential Palace in Luanda.

As Lourenço explained, the CNE reported on May 24 that the human, technical, material and financial conditions are in place to hold the elections.

For its part, the Constitutional Court notified that it is ready to start the process of reception, analysis and validation of the candidacies of the different political formations interested in contending in the electoral litigation, the president said.
