"Until tomorrow, Thursday, the resources of the electoral dispute will be decided", a source from the TC told Lusa.

"In terms of electoral disputes, the plenary of the Constitutional Court has analyzed, so far, the process relating to the coalition of political parties CASA-CE, and, according to the law, they will now be notified", explained a source from the institution.

On Friday, UNITA asked the TC to declare the ineffectiveness of the minutes of the final results of the August 24 elections - which gave the victory by an absolute majority to the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) - and that the National Commission Electoral Council (CNE) was summoned to admit its complaints.
