Presidential elections and the diplomatic turn to Beijing were the most important political events of the year. In August, Evaristo Carvalho, the ‘Acção Democrática Independente’ (adi) candidate, widely considered a close ally of Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada, was elected president. His election provided Trovoada’s adi with virtually absolute power, since the party now controlled the presidency, government, parliament and São Tomé’s district councils. In late December, the government cut off bilateral ties with Taiwan that had been established in 1997 and reinstated full diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China.
