All 102 seats in the National People's Assembly will be at stake. A hundred members will be elected directly in multi-seat constituencies by closed-list proportional representation vote, while the remaining two will be elected from two single-seat overseas constituencies.
"There will be no winner with an absolute majority in these elections. It is impossible," predicted the country's Prime Minister Nuno Gomes Nabiam. "No party is ready to govern Guinea-Bissau alone."
