Malanje — The secretary of MPLA's information and propaganda department in the northern Malanje province Ema Massunga said her party respects the people's will expressed in Wednesday's (24) elections and hopes to retrieve the seats it lost in parliament.

The provisional results released by the National Electoral Commission (CNE) give victory to the MPLA, with 51.07% of the vote, or 124 seats in the National Assembly.

In the provincial constituency of Malanje, the ruling party only elected three MPs, against the expected five.

According to the organic law of general elections, each of the provinces of Angola includes a provincial constituency, which must elect five MPs each.
