Jornal reported yesterday.
Dos Santos will step down as president either after general elections due next year or a year after the polls are held, Novo Jornal said, citing sources in the ruling MPLA party. The newspaper said Vincente had already indicated earlier this year that he would be stepping down as chief executive of Sonangol.
The 2012 general election is only the second since the end of the civil war that pitted the Russia – and Cuba-backed MPLA against UNITA, supported by the United States and apartheid South Africa. – Reuters.
