The first regular elections in 16 years were the most momentous political event of the year and brought about a massive win for the party in power, the MPLA (‘Movimento Popular para a Libertação de Angola’). Since the end of the civil war in 2002, President José Eduardo dos Santos and his entourage have tightened their grip on power and the resources of the country, with very little improvement in the living conditions of the majority of the people. The confirmation of his rule through democratic elections is thus only the last step in the consolidation process of Angola's singular power structure, centred on the presidency and the dominant party, which aims to improve the government's international standing.
