Dos Santos at the helm

Dos Santos at the helm
(Milagres..!)

Long-standing president Jose Eduardo dos Santos is once again firmly established at the helm of Angola's ruling MPLA after he was elected without opposition to the party's presidency, IRIN reported on Wednesday.

The congress, which ended last week, voted in Dos Santos by acclamation, paving the way for him to run again in national elections he has said will not be held before 2005.

Meanwhile, the main opposition party, UNITA, has voiced its concern over the fairness of the upcoming national elections presided over by the government.
