In september 2016, municipal elections were held in Cabo Verde, with 11
parties disputing the 22 municipal parliaments and
governments: The winner overall was M.p.D., who
got parliement majorities and siezed the cabinet in 19 municipalities;
P.A.I.C.V. got two of those, and the remaining
one, Boavista, went for the local party BASTA.
Also run, with more modest results, the following parties:
UCID, OIAM,
GIRB, GPAIS,
P.P., P.T.S.,
P.S.D., and AMI.
António Martins, 21 Dec 2016
It should be noted that, apart from the results of the two major parties,
M.p.D. and P.A.I.C.V.,
seats in municipal parliaments and/or in municipal cabinets were won mostly
by local platforms running only in a single municipality and with no
national-wide aspirations (probably not qualified to be termed as a full
fledged political parties).
