Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday left Harare for Luanda, Angola, where he will join other leaders for a funeral service of former Angola leader Jose Eduardo dos Santos on Sunday, reported The Sunday News.<\/p>\n

The funeral service is expected to precede a burial ceremony in the capital, Luanda, later in the day.<\/p>\n

Dos Santos became Angola\u2019s second president after the country attained political independence from Portugal in 1975.<\/p>\n

He took over the presidency and leadership of the People\u2019s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) from the late Agostinho Neto who died in 1979.<\/p>\n

Dos Santos, who led the country until 2007, died last month in Barcelona, Spain. He would have turned 80 on 28 August 2022.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Angola\u2019s governing MPLA party has claimed victory in elections held on Wednesday as opposition parties rejected the results of the vote.<\/p>\n

According to Al Jazeera, less than half of Angola\u2019s registered voters turned out for Wednesday\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

President Joao Lourenco is seeking a second five-year term and extending the rule of MPLA, which has governed the southern African oil producer since independence from Portugal in 1975.<\/p>\n

With more than 97 per cent of the vote counted, the election commission said on Thursday the MPLA was ahead with a 51 per cent majority.<\/p>\n

MPLA\u2019S longtime opponent, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) had 44.5 per cent.<\/p>\n
