Cape Verde Holds Presidential Election with Incumbent and First Female Candidate
Cape Verde is holding a presidential election on November 15, 2026, with incumbent Jose Maria Neves seeking a second term against five challengers, including Joana Rosa, the country's first female presidential candidate since independence in 1975. The president's role is largely symbolic in Cape Verde's semi-presidential system, where the prime minister holds most executive power. The election reflects the nation's reputation for political stability and democratic governance, with a runoff planned if no candidate secures over half the votes.
