Luanda – Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço, is now legally in position to call the 2022 general elections, since the National Electoral Commission (CNE) has just approved the report on the conditions that had to exist, before the elections could get an official date and summons.
The plenary session of the CNE held this Tuesday approved, unanimously, the Report on the existence of Conditions for the President of the Republic to Call the 2022 General Elections, which are scheduled to take place in the month of August.
According to the CNE spokesman, Lucas Quilundo, the Plenary, in its fourth extraordinary session, and in the terms of the Angolan Constitution (article 112), unanimously approved the Report, which will soon be forwarded to the Head of State, João Lourenço.
In the end of the meeting, chaired by the CNE Chairman, Manuel Pereira da Silva, the commission spokesman explained that, due to matters of administrative procedure and ethics, his institution is not competent to divulge the content of the said Report.
In view of such information, the next legal procedure is the pronouncement of the country’s Chief Magistrate on the matter, following the reception of the Report passed by the National Electoral Commission.
