Embalo, the President of Guinea-Bissau, will Run for Second

Following what they claimed were threats of deportation from Embalo, a team from the West African regional group ECOWAS, which had been dispatched to Guinea-Bissau to resolve the country’s political crisis, left on Monday. After visiting Russia, Azerbaijan, and Hungary, Embalo, who disbanded the opposition-controlled parliament in late 2023, told reporters he would run again Monday at the Bissau airport.

The small West African country, which has seen many coups since obtaining independence from Portugal more than 50 years ago, might see tensions rise as a result of Embalo’s decision. Embalo was inaugurated in as president on February 27, 2020, after winning an election on November 24, 2019, although the opposition challenged the outcome, and the Supreme Court did not acknowledge his victory until September 4.

The Supreme Court has decided that Embalo’s tenure should continue until September 4, despite the opposition’s claim that it should have ended on February 27 of this year. The opposition has refused to acknowledge Embalo as president since last week, despite the fact that he has set the election date for November 30 and stated that he should remain in office until then.
