José Maria Neves
President of Cabo Verde, elected in 2021. The 2026 candidate list is not yet final, so this profile records his current office and previous result without assuming that he will contest the November election.
This is not a biography collection. Entries cover a person's record on elections and voting rights only, and every entry carries a citation to a court ruling, an official finding, or an election-observation report. Nothing appears here without a source, and inclusion is not a judgement about a person.
