Two former Prime ministers will compete in a runoff to become Guinea-Bissau’s next President.

According to the county’s Electoral Commission, the incumbent, Jose Mario Vaz is failing to advance to the second round of voting after a term marred by political infighting and corruption.

Domingos Simoes Pereira topped Sunday’s Presidential election with 40 percent votes and Umaro Cissoko Embalo came second with 28 percent.  They will face off in the second round on the 29th of next month.
