Angola's National Electoral Commission (CNE) announced Thursday that the MPLA won Angola's general elections with 51.07%, followed by UNITA with 44.05% of the votes, when 97.3% polling stations had already been counted.

According to the spokesman for the National Electoral Commission (CNE), Lucas Quilundo, "there should be no substantial changes," he said, quoted by DW.

The MPLA elects 124 deputies and UNITA gets 90 parliamentary seats.

The historical National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), the Social Renewal Party and the newcomer Humanist Party of Angola, the only one led by a woman (Bela Malaquias) each elect two deputies and the CASA-CE coalition no longer has parliamentary representation.

UNITA wins three provinces, with an expressive result, and Luanda, where it reaches 62.59% of the votes and three deputies, against an MPLA that falls to 33.31% and gets only two representatives in the circle of the country's most populous province.

The largest opposition party also dominated in Zaire, with 52,10% of the votes against MPLA's 36,25%, and in the independence province of Cabinda, where it turned around the result announced during the morning and got four parliamentarians, against one for MPLA, with a vote of 68,55% against the ruling party's 26, 36%.

The abstention, according to Lucas Quilundo, was above 54%.

In the 25 cities where overseas voting has taken place, the tabulation is also finished and the results obtained are reflected for the national circle.
