Guinea-Bissau election delay tests ECOWAS
Guinea-Bissau is heading towards postponing the presidential and legislative elections scheduled for December, due to the inability to prepare the necessary technical and organizational conditions. Additionally, political parties have been unable to organize themselves appropriately, and there is a lack of renewal in leadership bodies. This comes after a military coup in November 2025, which halted the electoral process and resulted in the military remaining in power, amid ongoing political disagreements and the absence of a comprehensive agreement on the transitional rules. The postponement of the elections threatens to extend the transitional phase, thereby increasing the crisis of trust and complicating the prospects for a return to civilian rule, amidst warnings from regional and international pressures to ensure transparent elections are conducted as soon as possible.
