Luanda - P-NJANGO leader Eduardo Jonatão Chingunji, who was among the contending parties for 2022 elections, said Friday that he accepted the provisional results that gave victory to the MPLA.
Speaking to ANGOP, the politician added that “the results of the elections express the people’s will, although he expected more than 0.42 percent of the votes”, adding that “even so, I find the result strange”.
Running for the first time for the country’s top job, "Dinho" Chingunji, 58, justified the bad result in the elections by the fact that his party was legalised, by the Constitutional Court, just a month before the election, but valued "the experience and some popularity gained".
During the electoral campaign, "Dinho" Chingunji said that he hoped to achieve at least 30 seats in the National Assembly.
Under the article 33, paragraph 4, subparagraph i) of the Law on Political Parties (Law nº22/10, of 3 December) establishes a minimum of 0.5% of votes to avoid extinction.
In its campaign, P-NJANGO focused on the health, education, agriculture and housing sectors, as its governance programme.
P-NJANGO ran for the elections along with MPLA, UNITA, FNLA, APN, PHA, PRS and CASA-CE coalition.
So far, more than 97 percent of the votes have been tabulated, with the MPLA in the lead (51.07 percent), followed by UNITA, with 44.05%.
