Leader of the PRA-JÁ Servir Angola party, Abel Chivukuvuku, has stated that his party aims to address Angola's pressing issues, including poverty, unemployment, and the quality of education and healthcare, within two terms in office. Speaking to supporters in Caxito, Bengo province, Chivukuvuku outlined his vision for the country's future, emphasizing the need for a decade-long plan to implement meaningful reforms. He assured his audience that with ten years, his party can effectively tackle these structural challenges.

During the rally, Chivukuvuku elaborated on the necessity of a prolonged period to fulfill the party's commitments. He emphasized that Angola's development requires profound structural reforms, an end to the centralization of power, and a return to inclusive political dialogue. The goal, according to Chivukuvuku, is to ensure greater transparency in public management, balanced resource distribution, and more effective citizen oversight of power.

Chivukuvuku expressed confidence in his party's ability to drive change, stating that they will persevere in their efforts. He addressed concerns about his own stamina, saying that those who think he will tire easily are mistaken. The politician also highlighted the importance of direct contact with the population, explaining that his habit of walking among people is not merely a personal preference but a way to understand their struggles.

The PRA-JÁ Servir Angola party was officially legalized by the Constitutional Court on October 7, 2024, marking the end of a lengthy legal and political battle that began in 2019. The party's registration was confirmed after several attempts and appeals were rejected by the court in 2020. This development paved the way for Chivukuvuku and his party to participate in the upcoming elections.

Chivukuvuku's comments come as Angola prepares for the 2027 elections. His party's platform focuses on addressing the country's long-standing issues, such as poverty and unemployment. By seeking a two-term mandate, Chivukuvuku aims to demonstrate his party's commitment to sustainable and meaningful change.

The PRA-JÁ Servir Angola leader's message resonated with his supporters in Caxito, who gathered to hear his vision for the country's future. Chivukuvuku's emphasis on grassroots engagement and understanding the needs of ordinary citizens was well-received by the audience. His party's prospects in the upcoming elections will depend on its ability to connect with voters and present a compelling alternative to the current government.

As Angola looks ahead to the 2027 elections, the political landscape is taking shape. With his party's registration now formalized, Chivukuku is positioning himself as a key player in the country's future. His plan to address structural issues within two terms will likely be a central theme in the party's campaign.
