Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos Biography

Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 5, 1950 in Luanda, Luanda Province, Angola. Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos (born 5 March 1950) also popularly referred to as Nando is an Angolan politician who served as Vice-President in Angola between February and until September 2012. He was the Premier Minister of Angola from 2002 until 2008, as well as Presidency of the National Assembly of Angola from 2008 to 2010. He has been the Presidency of the National Assembly since 2012.

Piadade had been the 14th MPLA candidate on its national list during the parliamentary elections of September 2008. In the vote, the MPLA received a majority which meant that Piedade won one of the seats on the National Assembly.

On January 21, 2010, the National Assembly approved a new constitution that would increase presidential powers, eliminate the office of Prime Minister, and eliminate popular elections for the office of President. Piedade described the National Assembly’s adoption of the constitution as a “historic moment”. President dos Santos then appointed Piedade to the newly established office of Vice-President of Angola on February 3, 2010. Having long served as a close and powerful associate of dos Santos, his appointment as Vice-President made it appear more likely that he was being envisioned as the eventual successor to dos Santos. However, dos Santos had already been designated as the MPLA candidate for President in 2012, suggesting that he had no intention of retiring.

In 2012, Manuel Vicente, who had headed the state oil company Sonangol, was believed to have been selected by the President as his likely successor. Vicente was designated as the second candidate on the MPLA’s list of parliamentary candidates, making him the party’s nominee for the post of Vice- President. Following the MLPA’s victory in the 2012 parliamentary election, Vicente took office as Vice President on 26 September 2012, succeeding Piedade. A day later, on 27 September 2012, Piedade was instead elected as President of the National Assembly.

After the election of 2008 The MPLA Political Bureau picked Piedade to take over as president of the National Assembly on September 26 the 26th of September, 2008. They also picked Paulo Kassoma to replace Piedade as the Prime Minister. In September, recently elected lawmakers of the National Assembly met and were officially sworn in. Piedade was elected the President of the National Assembly on this occasion and received the majority of 211 votes, with three votes against.
