General elections were held in Guinea-Bissau on 13 April 2014, with a second round for the presidential elections held on 18 May since no candidate received a majority in the first round. Several logistic problems and delays caused the elections to be repeatedly postponed, having initially been scheduled for 24 November 2013 and then 16 March 2014.[ 1] José Mário Vaz of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde was declared the president-elect with 62% of the vote.[ 2]
The elections were the result of a military coup in 2012 cancelling the elections that year .[ 3] UN Security Council urged Guinea-Bissau's transitional government to abide by announced election plans, warning of sanctions against those opposing a return to constitutional order.
Former President Kumba Ialá died a few weeks before the elections.[ 4]
The President were elected using the two-round system , whilst the 102 members of the National People's Assembly were elected using proportional representation from 27 multi-member constituencies.[ 5] [ 6]
Candidates and parties [ edit ] Thirteen presidential candidates were confirmed by the High Court of Justice,[ 7] [ 8]
The Court approved fifteen parties to contest the National People's Assembly election, but rejected applications from seven other parties; the National African Congress, the Guinean Civic Forum-Social Democracy , the Democratic Party for Development, the Guinean Democratic Movement , the Patriotic Movement, the Guinean League for Ecological Protection and the Party for Democracy, Development and Citizenship.[ 8]
