Elections in Cape Verde for the country's next president took place on Sunday. The two main candidates are current leader 66-year-old Jose Maria Neves, considered the favorite of winning a second term, and Joana Rosa Amando, 61, a former justice minister who could become the country's first-ever female president. Four other candidates take part in the race. Each of the top candidates has the support of one of the country's two main parties. According to Amandu, a woman winning the presidential race would show many young women and girls that "no government job is barred from them." Voting started at 09:00 GMT and will end at 19:00 GMT in the west African archipelago. Provisional results are expected during the night.
