Guinea-Bissau’s legislative and presidential elections were held on November 23, 2025, with results due to be released on November 27, but the electoral process was interrupted by a military coup on November 26. A military spokesperson announced that they had uncovered a plot to manipulate the election results and thus had suspended the electoral process and state institutions. Gen. Horta Nta Na Man was installed as president of a transitional administration that would govern for one year; he appointed Ilídio Vieira Té as prime minister. Both men were allies of the deposed president, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, and there were allegations that Embaló had staged the coup with the help of the military because it appeared he had lost the presidential election.
