General elections were held in Angola on 31 August 2012 to elect the President and National Assembly.^[1] These were the first elections after the new 2010 constitution was instituted. During campaigning, the opposition UNITA and its offshoot CASA-CE accused and criticised the government of corruption and called for greater transparency; this led to protests and arrests the day before the election.
