Editing Politics of Angola (section)

==Legislative branch==
The [[National Assembly of Angola|National Assembly]] (''Assembleia Nacional'') has 223 members, elected for a four-year term, 130 members by [[proportional representation]], 90 members in provincial districts, and 3 members to represent Angolans abroad. The general elections in 1997 were rescheduled for 5 September 2008. The ruling party MPLA won 82% (191 seats in the National Assembly) and the main opposition party won only 10% (16 seats). The elections however have been described as only partly free but certainly not fair.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kas.de/proj/home/pub/8/2/year-2008/dokument_id-15323/index.html |title=Angola´s Parliamentary Elections in 2008, Publications, Namibia Office, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. |access-date=15 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090428070220/http://www.kas.de/proj/home/pub/8/2/year-2008/dokument_id-15323/index.html |archive-date=28 April 2009 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> A White Book on the elections in 2008 lists up all irregularities surrounding the Parliamentary elections of 2008.<ref>http://www.kas.de/proj/home/pub/8/2/year-2009/dokument_id-17396/index.html{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
