Unlike some political parties which used Marxism-Leninism as a cover to gain support in their national liberation struggles, I certainly hold the belief that the MPLA's was authentic in nature. I think naturally of course given the time period of the change, it was during the fall of the Soviet Union, and like most communist parties ideas were being re-evaluated. There's a trend among many communist parties around the world that have transitioned to social-democratic beliefs because of the perceived failures, and the large wave of reaction that followed. I do think the party structure hasn't changed too much, hypothetically some faction could knock the social democrats out, but given the momentum of the largest opposition party UNITA, it's looking more and more unlikely. I feel like the KPRF is more likely to go "Marxist-Leninist" again before I could imagine the MPLA doing so, but who knows.
