The information was confirmed this Tuesday to Rádio Nacional de Angola by the vice-president of the APN, Noé Mateus, who noted that Quintino Moreira died in one of the hospital units in the capital.
Quintino Moreira, who was a deputy in the National Assembly and member of the Council of the Republic in the 2008-2012 legislature, led the APN in the general elections of August 2022, where he obtained 0.48 percent of the valid votes cast, a situation that led to the political group's extinction.
A graduate in Law with a focus on political law, Quintino Moreira, who already had a new political project in the works for the 2027 general elections, was the founder and president of the Movement for Democracy party and the New Democracy – Electoral Union party coalition, founded in 2006.
In a note of condolence, the parliament expressed "deep pain and dismay" over the death of Quintino Moreira and stated that the former deputy was a "prominent figure" on the national political scene.
His death represents a loss for the national political scene, the note states.
