It is recalled that Carlos Alberto Ferreira Pinto recently resigned from the post, citing personal reasons.
He is now replaced by the jurist, who was elected with 154 votes for, one against and no abstentions, writes Angop. The election took place this Thursday, in the 8th Ordinary Plenary Meeting of the 4th Legislative Session of the IV Legislature of the National Assembly.
The name of Florbela Araújo was suggested by the parliamentary group of MPLA.
Florbela Araújo has worked in the cabinet of preparation of the sessions of the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers and in the legal advisory office of the Civil House, among others.
With a master's degree in international legal sciences, the jurist has taught at institutions such as the Catholic University, the Institute of International Relations, and Lusíada University. She has also published a book on the law of the sea.
