DescriptionThe ECOWAS Election Observation Mission (EOM) to the 17 May 2026 Legislative Elections in Cabo Verde continued its Election Day deployment and institutional engagements across several polling centres in Praia within the framework of ECOWAS’ preventive diplomacy and electoral accompaniment mandate. The Mission observed generally peaceful, orderly and professionally managed polling operations throughout the centres visited, while noting that isolated operational adjustments linked to polling procedures were addressed by electoral authorities in a calm and coordinated manner. The deployment further enabled the Mission to assess electoral operations, institutional coordination, civic participation and the overall conduct of the process across the archipelago.
The Mission was led by H.E. Baboucarr-Blaise Ismaila JAGNE, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of The Gambia and Head of Mission. The high-level delegation included Mr Abdou KOLLEY, Director of Cabinet and Chief of Staff to the President of the ECOWAS Commission; Dr Babatunde AFOLABI, Director of Political Affairs of the ECOWAS Commission, representing H.E. Dr Abdel-Fatau MUSAH, ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security; Ambassador Berenice G. BANKOLE, representing the ECOWAS Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC); Senator Edwin Melvin SNOWE Jr. of the ECOWAS Parliament; Ms Kelly LOPES, Acting Resident Representative of the ECOWAS Commission in Cabo Verde; and senior technical officials from the Directorate of Political Affairs, Peace and Security (PAPS) of the ECOWAS Commission.
