Africa-Press – Angola. FNLA militants, elders and former combatants, in Moxico province, threatened to remove the first secretary of that party, for having allegedly abandoned the local leadership of the association, shortly after the elections of 24 August 2022.
The decision came out of a meeting held at one of the party’s facilities, in which 27 members of the FNLA participated, even choosing the militant Jaime Candala, as the interim secretary, until the holding of the extraordinary meeting.
In view of this situation, the current provincial secretary, Martins Coji Dias, said he had reported such an “illegal action” to the Criminal Investigation Service (SIC) who advised the two parties to reach an understanding, respecting the law.
“The non-conformists were advised to abstain from the act and opt for reconciliation, observing the Law and the party’s statute, for the sake of our progress”, he said.
Regarding his absence, he said that he had been in Luanda looking for a solution for the subsidies of the 1,206 list delegates and then followed a period of convalescence.
