Whats at stake in Angolas election?
On Wednesday 24 August, Angola will head to the polls.
The two frontrunners are current president, Jo\xe3o Louren\xe7o, from the MPLA, who will be seeking his second term in office and Adalberto Costa J\xfanior, representing the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).
These two groups have had a rivalry that has dominated Angola\u2019s politics since independence in 1975 and battled for power during a civil war that ended in 2002.
While it\u2019s been the MPLA in power for nearly half a century, political analysts say that this will be the country\u2019s closest election to date, with Angola\u2019s young population looking for change.
So what\u2019s at stake in this year\u2019s election? Alan Kasujja speaks to journalist Israel Campos and Claudio Silva, a political commentator in the capital Luanda.
