General elections are scheduled to be held in Guinea-Bissau on 23 November 2025 to elect the president and National People's Assembly. There were originally planned to be separate parliamentary and presidential elections; parliamentary elections had been scheduled for 24 November 2024 after President Umaro Sissoco Embaló dissolved the opposition-controlled parliament on 4 December 2023, saying an "attempted coup" had prevented him from returning home from COP28 climate conference. However, Embaló postponed the parliamentary elections in early November 2024. Presidential elections had been scheduled for December 2024, but were later also postponed and Embaló's term ended on 27 February 2025. However, he remained in power and intends to run for re-election in late 2025. The opposition and civil society have been calling it an "institutional coup."
