Angola’s main opposition party, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, or Unita, said on Saturday that provisional results that gave the ruling party a majority of the votes in an election earlier this week weren’t valid.
"The country doesn’t yet have valid electoral results," Isaias Samakuva, the leader of Unita, said at a press conference in Viana, on the outskirts of the capital Luanda. "The country still doesn’t have a president elect."
