SummaryUnofficial

The Attorney General applied for the dissolution of the Partido Social Democrático Angolano (PSDA) because it had not taken part in the 2008 and 2012 elections. The party objected, citing the signature requirement and unequal treatment compared with another party that had not been dissolved. The Court declared the party dissolved and ordered its registration cancelled, since non-participation in two consecutive elections is an objective requirement and the equal-treatment argument failed.
