• Voters in August approved a new constitution that expanded presidential powers • The prime minister told reporters that political parties had not held their congresses to choose their leaders, and potential candidates for the election had missed the October 6 deadline for submitting their bids to the nation's Supreme Court
- 上周，政府以国家安全为由，阻止前总统乌马罗·西索科·恩巴洛（Umaro Sissoco Embalo）回国。恩巴洛原计划于周日回国并参加总统选举
• The prime minister did not offer a timeframe for setting a new date for a vote, stating, "there are no conditions for holding the elections scheduled for December 6" • Last week, the government blocked the former president, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, from returning, citing national security concerns.
