According to the president of the Municipal Electoral Commission (CME), José Augusto, the device transported electoral material to the commune of Lóvua, which is 79 kilometers away from Cazombo, capital of the municipality of Alto Zambeze. A technical problem may have been at the origin of the incident with the aircraft, which was also carrying 15 people, including five crew members”, said José Augusto, quoted by ANGOP.
In 2017, at the time of the elections, the same accident occurred, when a helicopter working for the National Electoral Commission crashed on the afternoon of August 23, in the municipality of Alto Zambeze, Moxico province.
