Angola: Parliament Meets Friday to Extinguish Unity Government

Luanda — The National Assembly (Angolan Parliament) is due to meet on Friday in its first plenary session to analyse, among other documents, the Bill that revokes the Law Nº 11/95, of 21 September, on the creation of Government of National Unity and Reconciliation (GURN).

It is also part of the agenda, the Bill that will revoke the Law Nº 18/96, of 14 November, that hindered the holding of elections in Angola to the creation of political, social, logistical and material conditions.

In the same session will be approved as resolutions the documents produced during the swearing in ceremony of MPs, held last September 30 at Talatona Conventions Centre in Luanda.

The meeting will also swear in the deputies who, for justified reasons, did not take their seats on 30 September.

The session will also be served to introduce MPs to fill up the vacancies left by deputies who were called to exert government posts or who have asked for their suspension for justified reasons.

The plenary will also elect the members of the Administration Council of the National Assembly. The National Assembly opened Wednesday its first four-year legislative term (2008-2012).
