The aforementioned parties also thanked the republican and exemplary performance as the corporation ensured all stages of the electoral process, where the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) was declared the winner.
According to the spokesman for the Luanda Provincial Police Command, Nestor Goubel, the position of the aforementioned parties was expressed during a meeting between representatives of seven of the eight parties that competed in the elections and the police.
With the exception of the National Party for Justice in Angola (P-Njango), said the official, all the other competitors participated in the meeting which was led by the provincial second-in-command of the police, commissioner Mateus André.
Last Thursday, the opposition expressed "disquiet" over the appointment of dates for the investiture of the President of the Republic, without validating the electoral results, and announced the creation of a working group to convene demonstrations that express "the repulsion" of the voters.
The intention is contained in a communiqué signed by five opposition parties (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, UNITA; Broad Convergence for the Salvation of Angola - Electoral Coalition, CASA-CE; Social Renewal Party, PRS; National Front for the Liberation of Angola, FNLA; and Democratic Bloc).
The subscribers also claim to be attentive "to the clamor and sentiment of the population", so they decided to create a working group "to study the framework and conditions for the organization and convening of demonstrations as an expression of the feeling of repulsion of the voting citizens".
These manifestations, they emphasize, will have "a strictly peaceful and orderly character", taking place in coordination with public order bodies and "fit in the spirit of the constitutional order, the law and the public interest".
Defense and security forces have a considerable presence on the main streets and avenues of Luanda, displaying artillery and various military means, in compliance with the "state of combat readiness".
UNITA, in a statement released this Tuesday, appealed to the "common sense of the defense and security forces deployed across the country and equipped with heavy ordnance to refrain from the use of force against citizens".
The party, which contests the election results, also mentions that the presence of defense and security personnel in the streets "aims to intimidate the citizen who intends to demonstrate against the electoral results, on the inauguration day of a President without legitimacy".
The Constitutional Court proclaimed the MPLA and its candidate, João Lourenço, as winners with 51.17 percent of the votes, followed by UNITA with 43.95 percent, having failed UNITA's electoral dispute appeal.
With these results, the MPLA elected 124 deputies and UNITA 90 deputies, almost double the 2017 elections.
In view of the electoral results, the MPLA must also appoint two vice-presidents and two secretaries of the National Assembly and, in the same proportion, the UNITA party.
The Social Renewal Party (PRS), the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) and the debuting Humanist Party of Angola (PHA) each elected two deputies.
CASA-CE, the National Patriotic Alliance (APN) and P-Njango did not obtain seats in the National Assembly, which in the 2022-2027 legislature will have 220 deputies.
João Lourenço, re-elected President for the next five years, takes office on Thursday, 15 September, and the elected deputies will be sworn in on Friday.
