"The leadership of UNITA accepts the results of the election and congratulates the MPLA," UNITA leader Isaias Samakuva said.

With nearly 80 of the vote counted from the two-day poll, the MPLA was winning about 82 percent of the vote versus just over 10 percent for UNITA, the former rebel group and largest opposition party in the oil-rich nation.

Based on these results, the MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola), in power since independence from Portugal, was leading in all 18 provinces. It was within reach of a coveted two thirds of the 220-seat parliament, giving it the power to change the constitution.
