This brings to 13 the number of candidates who want to succeed President Joao Be rnardo “Nino” Vieira, who was assassinated on 2 March.
The candidacy of Pedro Nfanda, a lawyer, had initially been rejected by the Supr eme Court because the policy-making committee of the Environmental Protection League (LIFE), on whose ticket he was standing, had not taken action to replace the governing body of the party after its chairman had died.
According the Supreme Court, the party had not communicated changes it had made at the leadership to its members.
The other candidates are: Malan Bacai Sanha, Koumba Yala, Henrique Pereira Rosa, Arregado Mantenque Té, Baciro Dabo, Yaya Djaló, Zinha Vaz, Luís Nancassa, Ibrahima Alfa Djaló, Sherifo Baldé, Paulo Mendonça and João Cardoso.
