Electoral/Political Party Reform – 2002

2002

Intermediate Implementation Intermediate implementation

The 2002 Luena Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) calls for continuing and completing the implementation of the 1994 Lusaka Protocol. The Lusaka Accord stipulated that UNITA be allowed to become a legitimate political party to compete in national multi-party elections. In 1998, three years following the Lusaka Accord, the Angolan government announced that UNITA was a fully legalized political party. UNITA would remain a legal political party, although multi-party elections would not be held for several years.1
