🇬🇼 *_The president of Guinea-Bissau schedules the next presidential election for November 30_*
President of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Mokhtar Sissoco Embalo, plans to remain in office until a new head of state is inaugurated. The opposition is against this idea and wants him to leave on February 27, 2025, the anniversary of his inauguration.
However, the Supreme Court has ruled that his mandate expires on September 4.
The UN and the Economic Community of West African States are deploying a mission to Guinea-Biasu to agree on the optimal calendar for preparing and holding the presidential elections.
On September 11, 2024, Embalo said he would not seek re-election when his term expires.
