His MPLA party has ruled the country since independence from Portugal in 1975

Angolan President João Lourenço will be sworn in for a second term on Thursday after narrowly winning the country’s tightest elections.

His MPLA party has ruled the country since independence from Portugal in 1975.

Mr Lourenço described the result as a “vote of confidence”.

The 68-year-old president campaigned on a strong anti-corruption stance.
