Aurélio Martins

He is the head of construction and security company Gibela Group[1] and president of FAMA (Aurélio Martins' Foundation).

[4] Aurélio Martins was his party's candidate in the 2011 presidential election,[1][4] but got only 4.06% of the votes and lost to former and MLSTP leader Manuel Pinto da Costa.

He was suspended from the party in mid-May 2018 due to backing the government's dismissal of three supreme court justices (incl.

the court's president) who had ruled in favour of handing over the Rosema Brewery in Neves - controlled by the party's largest donor Antonio Monteiros and his brother Domingos Monteiros, who were both MPs for the party - to an Angolan businessman.
