In Cape Verde our member party, Movement for Democracy, MPD, has scored another big victory in the last municipal elections, held at the beginning of September, winning in 19 out of 22 municipalities.

This victory followed that obtained in the legislative elections held last March, in which it secured a commanding absolute majority, allowing it to form a Government and to name Ulisses Correia as Prime Minister.

Next October presidential elections will be held, and we are hoping for more success for the MPD, building on that in the latest elections, and that President Jorge Carlos Fonseca will be reelected.
