Cape Verde goes to the polls in presidential vote

DW

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.
