Angola opposition files legal challenge against vote

Unita, the largest opposition party in Angola, claims to have filed a court appeal against the election results from last week.

Despite having a smaller majority, the ruling MPLA party, which has been in office since 1975, was declared the victor of the election.

According to a senior Unita official named Faustino Mumbika, the National Electoral Commission received a complaint on Thursday.

Unita, which had its best-ever election outcome, said there were irregularities in the vote.
