Léon Angor
Léon Robert Angor (13 July 1928 – 1993) was a Congolese politician and trade union leader. He was a leader of the CASL trade union centre. He was the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of the Congo between 1964 and 1966.[1][2] Angor was identified as part of the pro-China wing of the ruling National Movement of the Revolution.[3][4] Under Angor's aegis, the Congolese Trade Union Confederation was formed in March 1964.[5]
In May of 1966, Angor ran for re-election for the presidency of the National Assembly, but was defeated. It was speculated that this election marked a defeat of the pro-China wing and a victory of the pro-Soviet tendency in the party.[6]
Between August and December 1968, Angor was a member of the National Council of the Revolution (the ruling military junta).[2] He later served as ambassador to the United Arab Republic and Gabon.[7]
Angor was born in Brazzaville on 13 July 1928. He died in 1993.[8]
