She said the party is committed to holding the local elections scheduled for this year.
The vice-president of MPLA regretted the delays surrounding the start of the elections, saying that the emergence of the covid-19 forced the government to focus its forces on saving and preserving the lives of Angolans. However, he said that the implementation of the municipalities remains a reality.
Cited by Angop, Luísa Damião said that as the municipal legislative package is still under discussion in the National Assembly, it is not possible to proceed to elections.
The responsible, who was speaking on the sidelines of the tribute to Malaquias António, recalled, cited by Angop, that it was the MPLA that decided to put the local elections on the political agenda of the country and asked that throughout the process of the local authorities are fulfilled the objectives set by the constitution.
