The protracted political crisis that has shaken Guinea-Bissau since 2015 continued throughout the year. The parliamentary elections held in March that were expected to end the conflict between President José Mário Vaz and the majority party, ‘Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde’ (paigc), led by Domingos Simões Pereira, did not bring any major improvement. Instead, Vaz continued to pursue a policy of obstructionism, resulting in delay to the formation of a government, an attempt to dismiss Prime Minister Aristides Gomes (paigc), Vaz’s disregard for the approaching end of his term of office, and, subsequently, the delayed setting of a date for the presidential poll. Against the backdrop of political quarrels about the transparency of the elections, a new president was finally elected in November and December.
