The UNITA leader said in Luanda that if Isabel dos Santos has the conditions to run for President of the Republic in the next Angolan general elections of 2022, it is “nothing much”.

"I think being a citizen, if I have the conditions, nothing to add, nothing much", said Adalberto da Costa Júnior, on the sidelines of the New Year's greetings ceremony, urged by the Lusa agency to comment on the possibility admitted by the businesswoman.

The president of the National Union for Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), stressed that “there is not much time left” for the elections and does not know the motivations of Isabel dos Santos, but if his candidacy “obeys constitutional issues, quiet".

"Several citizens can express this will", said the UNITA leader, without further comment.

The Angolan businesswoman and daughter of former President Jose Eduardo dos Santos reiterated Wednesday in an interview with RTP that she is undergoing “political and personal persecution” by the court, as indicated by the current leadership of the People's Liberation Movement Angola (MPLA).

"I have a great sense of duty towards Angola. I will do everything I have to do to defend and render services to my land and my country", she said, admitting that "it is possible to run for president".
