Could work but then again maybe it just doesnt matter and who cares a toss anyway?”

Part 2 of “Briefs from the elections” from Angolan blogger, Koluki: “Earlier on Saturday, the main opposition party, UNITA, announced its intention to impugnate the election, claiming a “collapse” of the process in the capital, Luanda, and “numerous cases of organisational failures, forceful prevention of some electors from exercising their right to vote, violence and political intolerance” in the 18 provinces, of which they were in the process of collecting evidence to submit to the Constitutional Court.”

Koluki writes about elections in Angola: “Earlier on Friday the head of the EU mission, the Italian Luisa Morgantini, called the election “a total disaster” . The same assessment was made by the leader of the opposition, Isaias Samakuva, who called for a repeat of the election in Luanda, where of the 584 polling stations 320 didn't function.”
