Constitutional Court suspends PAICV assembly
The Constitutional Court (TC) has just suspended the holding of the PAICV assembly, which on Sunday, May 30, was supposed to elect the new party leader and delegates to the Congress scheduled for May 2 to 4.
This decision, according to Inforpress, comes in the wake of a challenge filed by a militant of the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde (PAICV - opposition) in which he claims that the candidate Francisco Carvalho does not meet the conditions to run for the party leadership.
Running for the presidency of the PAICV are Francisco Carvalho, mayor of Praia, Francisco Pereira, a member of parliament for the European constituency, Jorge Spencer Lima, a businessman, and Nuias Silva, mayor of São Filipe.
The candidates to succeed Rui Semedo in the leadership of the "black star party" are on the ground presenting their respective strategic motions to the militants.
