According to the ruler of Ombala Ya Nalueque, in the municipality of Ombadja, Cunene province, the acceptance of the results is a sign of respect for the will of the people and allows for the normal functioning of state bodies.
King Mário Shatipamba, quoted on Tuesday by Angop, considered it essential that the feeling of Angolanness prevails over party interests, appealing to the serenity of competing forces, in order to avoid acts that threaten the spirit of peace and tranquility.
