Joao Lourenco is Angolan new president
The National electoral commission of Angola, has declared Joao Lourenco, who represented the party in power MPLA, the new president of Angola.
According to statistics given by the electoral body, the new leader led the legislative elections, with 64.57%, followed by the National Union for the Total independence of Angola (UNITA) 24.04%, Casa-Ce, 8.56%, PRS 1.37%, FNLA 0.95% and APN 0.52%.
UNITA, said the elections were not transparent, but there are slim chances of any reconsideration, given that Dos Santos has said Angola will not have two presidents but one.
Joao is said to have been the ex-president’s close friend for a very long time. He was defence Minister before being elected as president after 38 years in power of his predecessor.
72 year old Lourenco was born in 1954 in Lobita, West of the country. He excelled in the military enormously, fighting for Angola’s independence in 1974.
