00:01Kepvadians began voting in closely contested legislative elections on Sunday, with Prime Minister Ulysse Korea and Silva seeking a third
00:09term.
00:10Under the parliamentary system, the party winning the most votes will select the head of government, while the president serves
00:17mainly as a arbitrator.
00:21For me, any of them are important, although we are currently facing many difficulties both in terms of ships and
00:29flights to Cape Verge.
00:32I hope that with this vote, regardless of who wins, it will be the best outcome for Cape Verge.
00:40The 63-year-old Silva, who took office in 2016, secured a second term after the 2021 elections, won by
00:50the Central Right Movement for Democracy, MPD.
00:55For me, the reform we should focus on is achieving balance in Parliament.
01:03Because we have already seen that when these parties make proposals, they are never beneficial once they take power.
01:14So, in my opinion, there should be more balance of power.
01:21Presidential elections are scheduled for November as Cape Verge continues its tradition of peaceful democratic transitions since gaining independence from
01:30Portugal in 1975,
01:32despite ongoing challenges including poverty and youth unemployment.
