By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Jornal Tropical
The European Union Election Observation Mission considers São Tomé and Príncipe’s parliamentary elections orderly and well organised. Its assessment comes at the end of an electoral cycle marked by high abstention and accompanied by a call for judicial reform, according to the mission.
São Tomé and Príncipe’s National Electoral Commission said preparations for the 29 September parliamentary, municipal and regional elections had followed the electoral timetable despite funding delays and limited resources, according to Sérgio Humberto, head of the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM).
The EU EOM also said the vote had proceeded peacefully. Sérgio Humberto presented this preliminary assessment on 29 September at a press conference in São Tomé.
