Luanda – The eighth day (Sunday) of the election campaign across the country was marked by some mass events, door-to-door awareness raising and the usual airtime on Angola National Radio station (RNA) and in the Angola Public Television (TPA).
PHA
The president of the Humanist Party of Angola (PHA), Bela Malaquias, promised Sunday to change the Land Law by eliminating the rules that attribute the original property of the land to the State, if she wins the elections on 24 August.
The rules that determine land as the State´s original property are in articles no. 2 and 4 at paragraph a) of the Land Law, and according to the PHA candidate, the intention of the repeal is to improve citizens´ access to construction and to carry out agricultural activity.
According to the candidate, who expressed this claim during her ten minutes of airtime on RNA station, if she wins the elections the land will no longer belong to the State but to the citizens, in order to avoid concerns about expropriation.
P-NJANGO
According to the Nationalist Party for Justice in Angola (P-NJANGO) at least 1,489 delegates on the list are registered to supervise the general elections on 24 August in Bié Province.
Speaking to ANGOP on Sunday, the party’s spokesperson José Manuel da Costa said that the registration has been carried out in eight municipalities and that there are difficulties in certain roads to reach other localities in the province.
The P-NJANGO candidate for the general elections, Eduardo Chingunji, wants to bet on family farming in Cuanza Sul Province, if his party wins the 24 August election.
For the politician the area in question, which he visited last week for three days as part of his election campaign, has agricultural conditions, including land and rivers, to become self-sustainable.
He made these remarks during his ten minutes airtime on Angola National Radio (RNA) station.
UNITA
The head of UNITA´s monitoring group in Lunda Sul Province, Virgílio Samussongo, called on the population, militants and friends of the party, to place their trust in his party on 24 August, which will allow development plans in the pipeline to be materialized.
The politician made such considerations during a door-to-door campaign “vote hunting” in Saurimo City, having reiterated that one of his party’s priorities will be the training of human resources and a serious focus on agriculture, to fight hunger and poverty.
With the same aim, activities were carried out in Muconda Municipality.
FNLA
The National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) advocates the reorganization of fishing activity in the country, if it wins the general elections.
The party also intends to pay attention to the imports of fishing products, due to the fact that the party considers fishing to be an activity of great importance.
According to the party´s programme, presented Sunday on its ten minutes of airtime on RNA station, FNLA plans to rehabilitate factories that process fish products, increase the level of inspection, promote artisanal fishing and encourage river fishing.
CASA-CE
The Broad Convergence for the Salvation of Angola-Electoral Coalition (CASA-CE) on Sunday devoted its ten minutes of airtime on RNA to interviewing some citizens and ask them about the social and economic situation in the country.
Issues related to health, education, employment, housing and electricity were the most addressed.
APN
The National Patriotic Alliance (APN) continues to work in Zaire Province, having Saturday held a rally in the city of Mbanza Kongo, where it highlighted the bet on education, with free education from primary level to higher education.
The programme of the APN is also aimed at fighting poverty and increasing the number of jobs, as well as agricultural production.
PRS
If the Social Renewal Party (PRS) wins the general elections in August, it plans to increase the subsidy to former soldiers and veterans of the homeland, so that they can have a “more dignified life”.
During his ten-minute airtime on RNA, the party’s president, Benedito Daniel, noted that it is laughable the current subsidy of “18,000 kwanzas monthly” to cover the cost of living of the former soldier to support their families.
The current subsidy for former combatants (participants in the clandestine struggle, political prisoners and guerrillas) is 23.500 kwanzas, according to official data.
MPLA
The construction of more infrastructures in the education, health and road sectors in Moxico Province is part of MPLA´s governance programme for the five-year term (2022-2027), in case of winning the general elections on 24 August.
This information was provided on Sunday in the municipality of Léua (Moxico), by the party’s first provincial secretary, Gonçalves Muandumba, during a political act as part of the electoral campaign that began on 24 August.
The MPLA government programme aims to reduce the deficit of urban infrastructures, promoting the continuity of the construction of integrated projects in main cities of the country, encouraging the public-private partnership model.
In Lunda Sul, the MPLA´s first provincial secretary, Daniel Neto, said Sunday in Saurimo that the party needs the confidence vote of the people and of the militants in order to continue with the many development programmes underway, ensuring the wellbeing of Angolan families.
Daniel Neto said that one of the programmes was the extension of public and home electricity, drinking water, construction of more houses, as well as the promotion of agriculture.
