Parliamentary elections were held in Cape Verde on 18 April 2021.

Background [ edit ]

The incumbent prime minister, Ulisses Correia e Silva of the Christian democratic Movement for Democracy (MpD) party, sought reelection after five years of government. [2] His main contender was Janira Hopffer Almada , of the moderate socialist African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde (PAICV), who would become the first woman to reach the office of Prime Minister if elected. [3]

The two parties have been the dominant political forces in Cape Verde since its democratization, but several newer parties are taking part in the election. [4]

Electoral system [ edit ]

The 72 members of the National Assembly are elected from 16 multi-member constituencies ranging in size from 2 to 15 seats. The elections are held using closed list proportional representation , with seats allocated using the d'Hondt method . [5]
