Angola's leading opposition party has filed a legal complaint challenging the integrity of last week's election, which saw the ruling MPLA party win by a narrow majority.
The opposition, Unita, made significant gains in last week’s elections, but now it faces a variety of tough choices.
Results declared on Monday placed the Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) as the winner with 51.17% of the vote, securing a second term for President Joao Lourenco, 68.
UNITA claims there were discrepancies between the party's own tally and the electoral commission's count. It has brought forward a case to the constitutional court to decide whether the results can stand.
