Aftermath
President Embalo dissolved the opposition-controlled parliament on 4 December 2023, saying an "attempted coup" had prevented him from returning home from COP28 climate conference. In response to the dissolution, parliamentary speaker Domingos Simões Pereira accused the president of carrying out a "constitutional coup d'etat." Incumbent president Embalo would go on to fire the prime minister Geraldo Martins, who was appointed by the PAIGC-led National Assembly and instead appoint Rui Duarte de Barros by presidential decree.
