Speakers representing NDI, the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) commended Angolans for conducting largely successful parliamentary elections Sept. 5 despite some procedural and logistical challenges.
Partner Spotlight
Angolans went to the polls for the first time in 16 years in September to vote for a new parliament. Despite some concerns, the Sept. 5 polls unfolded in a generally peaceful way, much to the credit of citizens who came out to vote in large numbers and political parties that encouraged members to adhere to a strict code of conduct.
Angola
NDI has had a permanent presence in Angola since 1996 and has worked closely with local partners on civic education and advocacy. Since 2002, NDI has worked to help civil society organizations develop their capacity to advocate for a more transparent and democratic electoral process, monitor election-related activities and build the confidence of citizens to engage in political activities.
