Last update: 7 hours agoPresidential Election Results: São Tomé and Príncipe’s National Electoral Commission says President Carlos Vila Nova has won a second five-year term outright with about 55.94% of the vote, avoiding a runoff; his main rival Nito Abreu won about 41%, after Vila Nova ran as an independent following a split with the ADI party. Election Day Snapshot: Voting on Sunday was reported as calm overall, though some polling stations were affected by local protests, with officials warning about low turnout. Oil & Energy Policy: São Tomé and Príncipe rejected bids for three offshore oil blocs in its 2026 licensing round because only Petrobras and Nigeria’s Oranto Petroleum submitted offers, leaving too little competition to set a fair market value. Regional Diplomacy: Angola’s President João Lourenço received a gratitude message from Pope Leo XIV for hospitality during his April visit, delivered via the Holy See’s nuncio. CPLP Cooperation: CPLP parliamentary leaders are set to meet in Luanda to push practical resolutions on inter-parliamentary cooperation and democratic governance across Portuguese-speaking countries.
