José Maria Neves, the incumbent PAICV president seeking a second term, leads the Cape Verde presidential election market at 78% implied probability ahead of the November 15, 2026, vote. His position reflects strong incumbency advantages, a decisive May 2026 legislative victory that gave PAICV a 37-seat majority in the National Assembly, and limited early momentum for declared challengers from the opposition MpD. Joana Rosa and Janine Lélis, both government ministers, have announced candidacies but trail significantly in trader pricing at 5% and 1.7%, respectively. With three months until the first round, the consensus pricing incorporates the structural edge for the sitting president while leaving room for shifts from primary outcomes, coalition alignments, or late campaign developments.
