| Angolans vote in landmark polls |
| 2008-09-06 |
| Angola's first nationwide poll in 16 years to elect a new parliament has been troubled by confusion and delays. An EU observer told the BBC that in parts of the capital, Luanda, voting was poorly organised and many stations opened late. But the electoral commission says the polls will stay open until all those queuing have voted. The oil-rich nation has been rebuilding since 2002, when 27 years of civil war came to an end. Although 14 parties are taking part, the contest is primarily between long-term rivals, the ruling MPLA party and opposition Unita party. |
