  • To many it might seem bizarre that Angola’s UNITA party, under the leadership of Adalberto Costa Junior, could win the upcoming election on 24 August. UNITA is often seen outside of Angola as simply the organization that was supported by South Africa’s apartheid regime during Angola’s 27-year civil war. A war that ended in 2002 with the killing of UNITA’s Jonas Savimbi. But a poll in July run by the Mudei Civic Movement, a citizen-based election monitoring group, found that UNITA and its United Patriotic Alliance had 50.3% support across the country. Trailing well behind was the governing MPLA with only 27.9%.
