On October 3, Abel Chivukuvuku, leader of PRAJA-Servir Angola, stated in Luanda that the country's main governance problem lies not in the scarcity of financial resources, but in the inability to transform state revenue into direct benefits for the population's quality of life. This statement was made during a visit to the Panga-Panga market in the Cazenga municipality. Chivukuvuku emphasized that the current government's solutions have been ineffective in addressing citizens' needs.

According to Chivukuvuku, the current Executive has isolated itself from the national reality. He believes that the programs implemented by the ruling party have failed, and therefore, a change is urgently needed by 2027. The leader of PRAJA-Servir Angola stressed that the alternation of power is vital for institutional innovation, combating corruption, resolving societal problems, and consolidating a true democracy.

Chivukuvuku pointed out that citizens face serious socioeconomic challenges marked by structural asymmetries. During his interaction with the market attendees, he questioned whether members of the Executive had ever visited the area to listen to local difficulties. This inquiry highlights the perceived disconnect between the government and the people.

The leader of PRAJA-Servir Angola emphasized that his party's vision is based on moralization, social justice, and dignity. He aims for his party to become a government or part of it in the next general election. Chivukuvuku declared it is time to end the governance cycle of those who, over the past 50 years, have caused immense suffering for the Angolan people.

Chivukuvuku's statements reflect his party's desire to bring hope and restore well-being to citizens. He believes that new political forces are needed to address the country's challenges. The PRAJA-Servir Angola leader's comments have sparked interest in the country's political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.

The visit to the Panga-Panga market and Chivukuvuku's interactions with locals demonstrate his party's efforts to engage with citizens and understand their concerns. This approach is part of PRAJA-Servir Angola's strategy to present itself as a viable alternative to the current government.

As Angola looks towards the 2027 elections, the debate on the country's governance and development is expected to intensify. Chivukuvuku's statements have contributed to this discussion, highlighting the need for change and the importance of transforming wealth into real human development.
