João Lourenço succeeded dos Santos as president in Angola in 2017. Lourenço, previously the country's defense minister, was elected as the candidate for the ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) party, which has been in power since the country's independence in 1975. His election marked the end of dos Santos's 38-year rule, characterized by both economic growth and allegations of corruption and nepotism.
