Lourenco to take power in Angola as MPLA wins election
Angola's ruling MPLA won this week's election, a poll official announced Thursday, with party candidate Joao Lourenco now set to succeed President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos who has ruled for 38 years. An election commission official in Luanda said the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) had won just over 64 percent of the ballot. The party, which has ruled since Angola's hard-fought independence from Portugal in 1975, had predicted an easy victory, but the outcome indicated a fall in its support since the previous election in 2012.
