Guinea-Bissau is preparing for upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections. However, the disqualification of several major opposition candidates has significantly altered the political landscape.
This move leaves incumbent President Umaro Sissoco Embalo as the clear frontrunner. Key rivals are now barred from contesting the polls.
The disqualifications have raised concerns about the competitiveness of the electoral process. The West African nation will proceed with the vote under these revised circumstances.
