30 October 2009


Huambo — The outgoing first secretary of the ruling MPLA party in central Huambo province, António Paulo Kassoma, Friday here called on militants to continue developing the spirit of tolerance, unity, reconciliation and peaceful democratic association, without discrimination

Paulo Kassoma made the appeal at the opening of the 10th ordinary Conference of appraisal and renewal of mandates, which brought together 481 delegates, of the 500 initially expected to attend the event.

According to him, MPLA will work toward the consolidation of its mass, democratic, independent and national character.

"The assemblies and conferences of appraisal and renewal aim to prepare the 6th Ordinary Congress, for the consolidation of national reconstruction and reconciliation in peacetime and of changes the world continues recording," stressed the MPLA official.

On the occasion, the leader called on militants and the population of the region to remain engaged in the national reconstruction works that allowed the ruling party to win a landslide victory in the 2008 legislative election.

The participants will elect the first secretary, the 115 member committee, candidates to the central committee of the party, delegates to the 6th party's Congress, taking place from December 7-10 this year.
