Bissau-Guineans are called to the polls on Sunday to renew the seats of their National Assembly. Parliament was dissolved in May 2022, at the initiative of the President, following a coup attempt.
The 884,000 registered voters will be able to vote until 17 p.m. for this first-past-the-post proportional election. The results are expected at least 48 hours later and a new Prime Minister will be appointed after the vote. The West African state has been the victim of a string of coups or coup attempts since its independence from Portugal in 1974.
