São Tomé and Príncipe
São Tomé and Príncipe, officially the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, is a small irrelevant island
democracy in
Africa, located on two main islands. He does not exporting much stuff, just fish and cocoa. He may be the only real democracy in
Central Africa.
He is probably one of the most, if not the most irrelevant country on
Earth (no offense). He will be fourth country to be underwater if the world's
global heating doesn't stop, according to
envoirmentalists. But nobody cares because he's irrelevant.
History
The
new Portuguese regime was committed to dissolving his
overseas colonies. São Tomé and Príncipe achieved
independence on 12 July 1975, with
MLSTP secretary general
Manuel Pinto da Costa becoming the first
president.
In 1990, São Tomé and Príncipe became one of the first African nations to become
democratic.
Constitutional changes legalized opposition parties, leading to
nonviolent, free, and transparent elections in 1991.
Miguel Trovoada, a former prime minister who had been exiled since 1986, returned as an independent candidate and was elected president. He was re-elected in the second multiparty presidential election in 1996.
The
conservative
Party of Democratic Convergence won a majority, while the
socialist MLSTP became a significant minority party. Municipal elections in late 1992 saw MLSTP winning a majority of seats in five of seven regional councils. In the October 1994 legislative elections, the MLSTP won a plurality of seats and regained an outright majority in November 1998.
Presidential elections in July 2001 resulted in the election of
Fradique de Menezes, backed by the
Independent Democratic Action (ADI), who was inaugurated on 3 September.
Parliamentary elections in March 2002 led to a series of short-lived opposition-led governments.
In July 2003, the
army seized power for a week, citing
corruption and unfair distribution of forthcoming oil revenues. An accord restored de Menezes to office. This cohabitation period ended in March 2006 when a pro-presidential coalition won enough seats in National Assembly elections to form a new government.
In September 2021,
Carlos Vila Nova, the candidate of the center-right opposition ADI, won the presidential election.
