MpD chooses Ivone Cardoso as head of the Brava list for the legislative elections on May 17th

The choice of Ivone Cardoso was made by the National Directorate of the Movement for Democracy, which is betting on a figure with strong institutional ties and an active presence on the island of Brava. Ivone Cardoso currently serves as President of the Brava Municipal Assembly and is also head of the Cape Verde Post Office at the Nova Sintra station, positions that give her administrative experience and direct contact with the population.

The list presented by the MpD for the legislative elections is made up of:

• Ivone Cardoso

• Danilson Andrade

• Domingas Coelho

• Mário Jorge Soares

• Gerson Delgado

According to advanced information, the list seeks to combine institutional experience, youth and representation from different localities on the island, in an attempt to strengthen the party's political presence in the Brava constituency.

According to MpD sources at national level, the choice of Ivone Cardoso is seen by political analysts as a bet on a figure with experience in public management and knowledge of local institutions. As President of the Brava Municipal Assembly, she has closely followed the main municipal dossiers, including development projects, infrastructure, transport and social issues on the island.

In addition, his work at the Cabo Verde Post Office, in the Nova Sintra station, makes him well known to the population, due to his daily contact with users.

The president of the MpD's Brava County Political Committee, Samuel Varela, who was contacted about the matter, said that he would make a statement when the time came. The local party leader did not want to give any more details about the choice of list or the political strategy for the legislative elections on May 17, and the official position of the municipal structure should be presented in the near future.

The legislative elections on May 17 will be decisive for the representation of the island of Brava in the Cape Verdean Parliament. The Brava constituency elects two MPs, and is traditionally a hotly contested constituency between the MpD and the PAICV.

With this candidacy, the MpD intends to maintain or strengthen its parliamentary representation in Brava, betting on a list that combines political experience, technical staff and young people.

The election campaign should focus mainly on the island's main concerns, such as maritime and air transport, employment and opportunities for young people, health, local economic development, infrastructure and relations with the diaspora.

In the near future, the party is expected to officially present the specific electoral program for the island of Brava and carry out various political activities with the population.
