Angola's MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola) holds rally ahead of the country's upcoming elections. Eight political parties are on the ballot paper, but the real contest is between the ruling MPLA and its long standing rival and former rebel movement the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). Stakes are high for MPLA which has been in power since 1975, now led by incumbent President Joao Lourenco who was first elected in 2017. IMAGES
