Incumbent José Maria Neves maintains a dominant position in the Cape Verde presidential race, with trader consensus reflecting his incumbency, PAICV party backing, and recent endorsements including Prime Minister Francisco Carvalho’s October support for continuity and stability. Neves formally launched his re-election bid in September and outlined five key commitments in mid-October focused on youth engagement, territorial cohesion, the ocean economy, democratic institutions, and diaspora outreach ahead of the November 15 vote. The six-candidate field, cleared by the Constitutional Court and including Joana Rosa of the opposition MpD plus independents such as Casimiro de Pina, features limited recent shifts capable of altering the current probability distribution, though the first-round outcome remains subject to final turnout and vote consolidation among challengers.
