The TC gave the right to a group of alleged militants from the "Galo Negro" party who asked for the president's removal due to alleged irregularities, namely the fact that he ran without renouncing Portuguese nationality, annulling the congress and the direction chosen in 2019, including Adalberto da Costa Júnior, again elected in December 2021.

A new request to challenge the congress is still pending, filed by seven militants from the "Galo Negro" party, who filed a precautionary measure with the TC, alleging that the appointment of the conclave was made in a climate of "intimidation", which UNITA contested.
