The general elections in Angola were held on 23 August. More than 76 percent of the 9 million voters registered in Angola participated, according to the National Elections Commission. The party in power since the country's independence, the MPLA, won parliamentary elections but lost ground to the opposition. The MPLA obtained 61.1 percent, compared with 26.7 percent of the largest opposition party, UNITA, and the great disappointment, CASA-CE, with 9.5. João Lourenço, former Minister of Defense, replaces José Eduardo dos Santos as president of Angola.
