Sao Tome and Principe President Vila Nova wins second term, preliminary results show


He won Sunday's election with more than 55% of the vote, enough to avoid a runoff, the election commission said during a press conference.

Vila Nova came to power in 2021 with the ​backing of the Independent Democratic Action party (ADI), which holds a majority ​of seats in the National Assembly.

But last year Vila Nova dismissed Patrice Trovoada as prime minister, prompting a split with the ADI that left him ​running as an independent on Sunday against three other candidates.

Abreu ​had vowed to focus on creating jobs for youth and stemming what he ‌describes ⁠as an exodus of young people from the country, which is made up of two main islands and has a population of around 240,000.


A former Portuguese colony situated off the western ​coast of Africa, ​Sao Tome and ⁠Principe has had a history of free and peaceful elections since the adoption of multiparty politics ​in 1990.

The country produces cocoa, and was once ​seen as ⁠a potential oil producer, though it has not yielded major finds.

In 2022, the government announced it had thwarted a coup attempt, the ⁠first ​in nearly two decades, involving at ​least one member of a South African apartheid-era militia known as the Buffalo Battalion.
