Umaro Mokhtar Sissoco Embaló
Umaro Mokhtar Sissoco Embaló is the President of Guinea-Bissau, having assumed office after winning the presidential elections in December 2019. His tenure has been marked by controversy, particularly due to his recent decision to dissolve parliament without calling for new elections, a move criticized by opposition parties as a tactic to consolidate power. Embaló's presidency has faced challenges regarding constitutional mandates, as well as tensions with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) following his expulsion of a mediation delegation in 2025. With a history of fluctuating political commitments, including his wavering intention to seek a second term, Embaló's leadership continues to influence the political landscape and stability of Guinea-Bissau.
