This collegial consultative body of the Head of State includes the Vice-President of the Republic, the president of the National Assembly, the Attorney General of the Republic, the leaders of political parties with parliamentary seats, the vice-president of the MPLA and civil society entities, such as journalist Ismael Mateus, recently deceased.
Chivukuvuku, former UNITA activist and president of the CASA-CE coalition, from which he was removed in 2019, saw the Constitutional Court finally give the green light to his party PRA-JA Servir Angola last week, after several years of waiting.
Chivukuvuku is also part of the United Patriotic Front (FPU), a platform created in the 2022 general elections, led by UNITA and coordinated by Adalberto Costa Júnior, assisted by him and the president of the Democratic Bloc, Filomeno Vieira Lopes.
At the opening of the parliamentary year, on Wednesday, the president of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, Adalberto Costa Júnior, considered that the legalization of PRA-JA Servir Angola had political motivations, allegedly to destabilize the United Patriotic Front (FPU) , ensuring that the opposition platform “is stable”.
The Constitutional Court announced last week the legalization of PRA-JA Servir Angola, a decision that put an end to a process that had been dragging on since 2019, the year the project was presented, which ended up being rejected in 2020 by the court, forcing us to wait four years for a new legalization attempt.
