Angola, sub-Saharan Africa’s second-biggest oil producer, will hold general elections on Aug. 31, according to a statement from the office of President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
The elections will be the second Angolan ballot since the end of a 27-year civil conflict in 2002, and the first for a president in 20 years. Voters will choose “to fill the position of president and members of the National Assembly” in a single poll, according to the statement e-mailed today.
