Angolans choose new leader to replace Jose Eduardo dos Santos - BBC News
Angolans are heading to the polls to vote for a successor for their veteran leader. Jose Eduardo dos Santos has been in power in the oil-rich country since 1979, making him the world's second-longest serving president. He is not contesting this election - Defence Minister Joao Lourenco is standing for the governing MPLA party.
