Partido de Renovação Social (PRS) or Social Renewal Party became the
third largest party in Angola following the the 2008 parliamentary elections
with 8 seats out of 220. The Chr. Michelsen Institute in Norway, reports that:
The PRS, Partido de Renovação Social (Social Renewal Party) is the
biggest and oldest of the smaller parties. It had 6 deputies in the outgoing
parliament and held the Vice Presidency. It was established in 1990 and the
party leader is Eduardo Kuangana. The PRS is a moderate opposition party
and a party of the current coalition government with two portfolios. The PRS
deputies have voted with, and otherwise co-operated with the ruling MPLA on many
issues, and supported the candidacy of Mr Eduardo dos Santos for president in
1992. The PRS was formed as a platform for people of the northeast of the
country, in the Lunda provinces. The PRS is still a regional and
regionalist party, although it has now more national outlook and presence.
Decentralisation, in particular local elections and a federal system of
government, are important to the PRS. It is a relatively well-funded
party, but the party structure is client based and old-fashioned.
On the National Electoral Committee
website the party flag matches the image and description shown above.
