Álvaro Daniel opened the X Parliamentary Days of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) which are taking place in the city of Cuito, capital of the province of Bié, in the center of the country.
"In a country where the ruling party uses public goods for its campaign, UNITA has to be creative and permanently innovative. These days must also be the space for harvesting those initiatives and innovations that will inspire our campaign, but also enrich the Electoral Manifesto and the Government Program that we intend to present to the voting citizen this year", he said.
Angola will hold its fifth general elections in the second half of August this year, with the process of preparing the election taking place at this time.

The days will take place under the motto "Unita Parliamentary Group - for Alternation, Inclusive and Participatory Governance", an orientation on which the deputies will reflect, in an election year, "on the great challenges for the party to present itself with a dynamic of victory before voters", said Álvaro Daniel.
"This requires the party and the deputies to present ideas and proposals for solutions on major national problems," he said.
"The deputies, as soldiers on the front line, will present the party with competitive ideas, capable of arousing the interest of citizens and building the popular sympathy that is intended in the electoral dispute," he added.
According to the secretary-general of UNITA, the party's commitment continues to be the constitution of an inclusive and participatory government, "a true alternative to the government that has been in force for 46 years".
"The UNITA government will prioritize competence and meritocracy, but it must foresee the best ways to control and supervise it so as not to fall into an Angolan-style aristocracy or the new oligarchy, because these people who suffer so much and support our fight against this regime will not tolerate such betrayal," he stressed.
From the work agenda, Álvaro Daniel highlighted the theme that introduces the debate on the institutions of control of government action, whose lack or ineffectiveness "are the reason for the high levels of corruption and embezzlement" that the country suffers.
On Wednesday, the first day of work, the deputies visited eight of the nine municipalities in Bié.
