LUANDA, Angola (AFP)--Angola's electoral commission late Tuesday reported the final results of this month's legislative elections, with the ruling MPLA party garnering 81.64% of the votes. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, or MPLA, in power for the past 33 years, won 191 seats in the 220-seat legislature in the Sept. 5 election, the commission said. The opposition National Union for Total Independence of Angola, or UNITA, the MPLA's former wartime adversary, won 10.39% of the votes cast, electing 16 deputies to the national assembly. Voter turnout was at 87%, the commission added. Angolans went to the polls in the first elections held since the end of the country's 27-year-long civil war in 2002. The last elections held in 1992 during a lull in the bloody civil conflict were contested by former rebel movement UNITA, plunging the country back into a war which only ended six years ago.
