Angola: President Dos Santos cleared to stand for next poll
26.07.2005
Angola's main opposition party, UNITA, said it was unfazed by a Supreme Court ruling on Monday allowing President Eduardo dos Santos to stand in the country's first post-war election. On Friday the Supreme Court ruled that parts of a new electoral law, reportedly preventing the veteran leader from seeking re-election, were unconstitutional. The legislation will have to return to parliament for amendment.
