Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The president of the PAICV, Rui Semedo, celebrated his victory in the local elections in the archipelago on Sunday, now leading the majority of the 22 municipalities on the 10 islands.<\/p>\n

The party leader spoke at a time when the count was still underway in around three dozen of the 1,079 polling stations, but with the local government already preparing for a reversal, with the MpD taking seven to eight councils and the PAICV growing to 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the eight [councils] we already had, we won six more\u201d, stressed Rui Semedo in a statement to the media in Praia.<\/p>\n

The president of the PAICV highlighted \u201cthe signs\u201d that already existed and that led the party to surpass the minimum established target of 12 councils.<\/p>\n

Rui Semedo said that in terms of vote representation, the main parliamentary opposition party is preparing to jump \u201cfrom 38% of voters (…) to 68%\u201d. Francisco Carvalho, the PAICV\u2019s reelected mayor of Praia, celebrated the party\u2019s victory in the capital, but also in the archipelago. \u201cIt\u2019s time to start preparing for the future\u201d, said Francisco Carvalho, in a victory statement in Praia. \u201cThis result is not only seen in Praia, but the entire national scenario is changing. Cape Verde is painted yellow\u201d, he said, in an allusion to the PAICV\u2019s colour. Francisco Carvalho had won the country\u2019s main municipality from the MpD in 2020, in a close election, in which he won by a margin of less than a thousand votes, and has now managed to gain an advantage of around 10,000. The re-elected mayor beat the candidacy of Abraa\u0303o Vicente, a former minister whom the MpD had appointed to try to retake the capital.<\/p>\n

In his victory statement, Carvalho recalled that, at the start of the political year in September, he had indicated that the PAICV should aim to achieve a majority in local government for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey told me that it was too ambitious, that it was crazy\u201d, but it was a goal that took into account \u201ca deterioration in the country\u2019s governance\u201d and the \u201ccritical capacity of Cape Verdeans\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
