AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoPresidential Polls in Sao Tome and Principe: Voters head to the polls Sunday for the presidential election in the Gulf of Guinea. Outgoing President Carlos Vila Nova (ADI) faces MP Nito Viegas D’Abreu, backed by former prime minister Patrice Trovoada, plus two independents. The president’s role is largely ceremonial, while executive power sits with the prime minister—so the result could still shape political stability and the wider election calendar. Visa-Free Travel Updates for African Travelers: Hong Kong published its 2026 visa-free list for African countries with stay periods ranging from 14 days to three months. Regional access keeps shifting: South Africa’s 2026 visa-free list again excludes Sierra Leone, while DR Congo released a 2026 eVisa eligibility list (90-day validity after approval). Tourism and entry planning: Mozambique confirmed its 2026 visa-free list (with possible eTA needs), and Zimbabwe expanded visa-on-arrival options including Sao Tome and Principe.
