Luanda — The Broad Convergence for the Salvation of Angola - Electoral Coalition (CASA-CE) was founded on 3 April, 2012 by six Angolan political parties: PADDA-AP, PALMA, PPA, PNSA, PDP-ANA and BD.

CASA-CE was created with the aim of offering citizens a new progressive and positive vision for the future of the country, ahead of the 2012 general elections.

They are members of the coalition, the second largest party of the Angolan opposition, the Democratic Alliance Party for the Development of Angola - Patriotic Alliance (PADDA-AP), the Angolan Majority Free Alliance Party (PALMA), the Angolan Pacific Party (PPA) , the National Salvation Party of Angola (PNSA) and the National Party for Progress and National Alliance of Angola (PDP-ANA).

Its first president was Abel Chivukuvuku.
