After being ousted from power in a coup ten months ago, the exiled former president of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, announced to AFP on Monday that he plans to return to his country soon as a "candidate for the presidential election" scheduled for December 6. This election is expected to help restore constitutional order in the West African nation, which has experienced political instability in recent years. Guinea-Bissau has long struggled with political turmoil, including frequent changes in leadership and military interventions. The December 6 election is seen as a crucial step in the country's efforts to return to a stable democratic process. Embalo’s return and his candidacy could influence the political landscape, especially if his campaign gains significant support. The coup that removed Embalo from power occurred in February of this year, leading to a period of uncertainty and power struggles within the government. Since then, various political actors have vied for influence, and the upcoming election is viewed as a key opportunity to establish a legitimate government. However, concerns remain about the fairness of the electoral process and the potential for further instability. Embalo’s announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about the rule of law and governance in Guinea-Bissau. His return to the political arena may signal a shift in the country's political dynamics as it moves toward the December election. The international community has been closely watching the situation, hoping for a peaceful and transparent electoral process that will lead to a stable government.
