General elections were held in Angola on 24 August 2022 for the positions of President and Deputy of the National Assembly. Despite the National Electoral Commission giving the victory to João Lourenço's MPLA by 51%, the result was contested by Adalberto Costa Júnior's UNITA and several irregularities in the counting of votes were pointed out.
But something that has drawn attention is the decline of the largest Angolan party, the MPLA, which has been losing its voters in the last elections.
After Angola's independence in 1975, the three nationalist groups the MPLA, UNITA and FNLA fought each other for control of the country, and in particular the capital, Luanda.
In 1991 they signed the Bicesse Accords on 31 May in an attempt to end the civil war that had raged since 1975.
Shortly after the elections began to be discussed, the following year the General Elections of 1992 were scheduled.
After the 1992 elections, the country had not seen elections with the excuse that there were no conditions because of the civil war until the elections were scheduled in 2008, where the MPLA elected 191 deputies.
In August 2012 there were elections and obviously the MPLA won the elections with 71.84% of the votes.
Former President José Eduardo Dos Santos left power in 2017.
In 2017, the third elections took place that elected João Lourenço as the new president of Angola with 61% of the votes.
In 2022 Angola went to the polls on August 24. João Lourenço emerged victorious, with 51% of the votes winning a second term in the Presidency of the Republic, according to the final results released by the CNE and UNITA had 44%, which UNITA contests.
UNITA has submitted an appeal to the Constitutional Court (TC) of Angola, it is now up to the TC to decide whether or not to grant the appeals of UNITA and other parties, which may happen until Wednesday.
