What is presidentes de angola?

Presidentes de Angola refers to the list of individuals who have served as the president of Angola, a country located in southwestern Africa. Angola gained independence from Portugal in 1975 and has had four presidents since then.

1. Agostinho Neto (1975-1979) was the first president of Angola. He led the country through a difficult period of civil war and economic instability after independence. Neto was a prominent figure in the anti-colonial struggle and played a key role in founding the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA).

2. Jose Eduardo dos Santos (1979-2017) was the second president of Angola and served for 38 years. Dos Santos came to power after Neto's death and led the country through a period of post-war reconstruction. He made significant economic and political reforms during his tenure, but also faced criticism for his authoritarian style of governance.

3. João Lourenço (2017-present) is the current president of Angola and the first president to come to power through a peaceful transition of power. Lourenço served as the defense minister under Dos Santos and has promised to fight corruption and improve the country's economy.

4. Luisa Diogo (acting president in 2022) was the first woman to hold the presidential office in Angola. She held this position for two hours following the resignation of President Lourenço and handover to the victorious presidential election contestant from November 2022 general election.

Angola is a semi-presidential representative democratic republic, meaning that the president is both the head of state and head of government, and is elected by popular vote.
