Episode 19: Angola Elections - Free and fair?

  • Summary

  • Angola's general elections take place on August 24, but there is little hope that democracy will prevail in this securitised country with a legacy of kleptocracy, thanks to the late President Jose Eduardo dos Santos who died on 8 July. Angola's electoral commission has been captured by the ruling MPLA party, and most of its oil exports go to Europe, which will have an interest in maintaining the status quo, explains GGA's Director of Research & Programmes, Dr Ross Harvey.
