Angola Political Bureau
The Political Bureau's eleven full members and two
alternates
were elected from among Central Committee members to
assume the
responsibilities of the committee between its sessions and
to
control the policy direction of the party. This small
group wielded
substantial power within the MPLA-PT, and its authority
and
membership overlapped that of the Central Committee
Secretariat. In
late 1988, the Political Bureau and the Defense and
Security
Council were the most influential bodies in the party and
government, respectively.
