Africa-Press – Angola. The National Assembly (AN) holds this Friday (27th), in Luanda, an extraordinary plenary meeting, to approve the definitive composition of its bodies, under the proposal of the president of the hemicycle, Carolina Cerqueira.
Last Monday, during the conference of parliamentary leaders, led by the president of the AN, Carolina Cerqueira, it was decided that the MPLA, which holds the majority in the hemicycle, will keep the 1st and 3rd vice-presidencies of the AN, and the UNITA with the 2nd and 4th vice-presidencies.
The same matrix will be carried out at the level of the secretaries of the Board of the National Assembly.
The MPLA Parliamentary Group had nominated, in September last year, for the posts of vice-president and second vice-president, deputies Américo Cunonoca and Raúl Lima, respectively.
UNITA did not participate at the time of that vote and its deputies left the hemicycle en bloc and, in the same month, challenged the resolution that elected the MPLA deputy for the position of 2nd vice-president of the AN.
UNITA, which is represented in Parliament with 90 deputies, has been complaining for months that the 2nd and 4th vice-presidents of the AN must leave their parliamentary group.
Due to the new position, the Parliamentary Group of UNITA committed, on Monday, to withdraw the process in the Constitutional Court (TC) on the challenge of the resolution that appointed an MP from the MPLA as 2nd vice-president of the National Assembly.
