SUBJECT: "THE ANGOLAN" -- ELECTORAL BULLETIN VOL. I 
 
 
-------------- 
1. (U) SUMMARY 
-------------- 
This is the first of a series of updates by Embassy Luanda as Angola 
prepares for parliamentary elections in September 2008. Key points 
include: 
 
-- The National Electoral Commission (CNE) holds managerial 
conference 
 
-- Election stakeholders call for political tolerance 
 
-- Supreme Court advises it intends to uphold the electoral laws 
 
---------------------------------------- 
CNE debates location of polling stations 
---------------------------------------- 
 
1. (U) The CNE on January 29, 2008 gathered its 18 provincial 
directors to Luanda for an intense electoral planning session, which 
included discussion of the number and location of polling stations 
and booths required for September's legislative elections.  CNE 
officials are considering many options, including utilization of the 
registration centers used by the Inter-Ministerial Commission for 
the Electoral Process (CIPE) during voter registration. 
 
2. (SBU) Prior to this meeting, many Provincial Electoral 
Commissions (PNE) developed proposals for polling locations that 
balance the legal requirement to assign 1000 voters per polling 
booth with the practical reality of servicing hundreds of small, 
rural communities without requiring excessively onerous travel or 
saddling large urban populations with excessively long lines. 
Bengo's provincial director announced his intention to have 286 
polling stations for slightly over 113,000 registered potential 
voters - an average of 395 voters per polling station in a province 
the size of Vermont.  In contrast, Moxico's PNE intends to use 200 
polling stations to service 222,437 potential voters - an average of 
1112 voters per station in a province the size Minnesota, and a 
province that UNITA claimed had too little coverage in 1992. 
 
3. (SBU) COMMENT: The extent of the PNE's actual decision-making 
authority is unclear, especially given CIPE's tendency to announce 
that it is also busy determining the number and location of polling 
stations.  Given the many logistical hurdles to be overcome, 
including demining for safe access and the selection and training of 
staff, electoral observers, etc, it is one decision the CNE knows it 
needs to make quickly. END COMMENT 
 
------------------------------ 
Calls for political tolerance 
------------------------------ 
 
4. (U) UNITA on January 31, 2008 reiterated its concern over what it 
characterized as an increasingly tense political climate, and 
requested that the CNE and the National Assembly take charge of the 
situation and put a stop to what UNITA considers political 
intolerance and harassment of citizens.  This call insinuates the 
government is not doing enough to curb the problem, but Interior 
Minister Roberto Monteiro responded by telling journalists that acts 
categorized as political intolerance are nothing more than common 
vandalism and should be dealt with as such, with the police taking 
strong measures against perpetrators. 
 
5. (U) Nonetheless, on February 4, 2008 Prime Minister Dias dos 
Santos called for political tolerance and mutual respect to be the 
"mast flag" of September's legislative elections.  He reminded his 
audience of the utmost need to organize the elections under 
peaceful, secure and cordial conditions, without redress to verbal 
or physical violence. 
 
6. (SBU) In addition, on February 5 Ramos da Cruz, Huila's 
Provincial Governor, admitted that there is political intolerance in 
Huila and pleaded for tolerance in a province that he believes will 
be strongly contested, asking that all battles be only verbal. 
Huila is the second largest electoral center after Luanda. 
 
----------------------------------- 
Supreme Court cautions stakeholders 
----------------------------------- 
 
7. (U) President of the Supreme Court Cristiano Andre has again 
cautioned stakeholders in the electoral process to strictly observe 
the electoral laws, as the Court is the arbiter in all electoral 
matters, including determining who the participants in the 
legislative elections will be.  In the same light, the Interior 
Minister promised to enforce the observance of the electoral law 
with no exceptions, assuring neutrality on the part of State 
institutions. 
 
8. (SBU) COMMENT: UNITA often complains that government institutions 
are partial in favor of the MPLA, and insists that this partiality 
is what grants MPLA the liberty to violate the law.  It remains to

be seen whether the Interior Ministry will live up to its word.  END
