佛得角举行总统选举 现任总统内维斯迎战首位女性候选人
佛得角11月15日举行总统选举投票。现任总统若泽·马里亚·内维斯（José Maria Neves）迎战该国首位女性总统候选人、前司法部长若阿娜·罗萨（Joana Rosa），竞选焦点集中在为年轻人创造更多就业机会。佛得角位于非洲大陆以西600多公里处，人口约50万，海外佛得角人数量多于本土人口，主要居住在美国和葡萄牙。
内维斯曾任总理15年，2021年出任总统，来自该国历史最悠久的政党佛得角非洲独立党（PAICV）。该党在今年5月的立法选举中赢得72个议席中的37席，弗朗西斯科·卡瓦略（Francisco Carvalho）出任总理。投票站于当地时间上午8时（格林尼治标准时间9时）开放、下午6时（格林尼治标准时间19时）关闭，官方初步结果预计在两至三天内公布。
根据佛得角选举规则，若无候选人得票超过50%，得票前两位的候选人将于11月29日进入第二轮决选。移民与侨民议题是本次竞选的另一焦点，候选人围绕海外侨民联系与国内青年就业提出各自主张。

Cape Verde Votes for President as Incumbent Neves Faces First Female Candidate
Cape Verde voted in a presidential election on November 15, with incumbent José Maria Neves facing the West African island nation's first female presidential candidate, former justice minister Joana Rosa, in a campaign focused on creating more jobs for young people. Situated more than 600 km (373 miles) west of mainland Africa, the former Portuguese colony is home to around 500,000 people, with a larger number of Cape Verdeans living overseas, mainly in the United States and Portugal.
Neves, who was prime minister for 15 years and became president in 2021, is from Cape Verde's oldest political party, the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde (PAICV), which won 37 out of 72 seats in legislative elections in May, allowing Francisco Carvalho to become prime minister. Polls opened at 8 a.m. (0900 GMT) and were set to close at 6 p.m. (1900 GMT), with official provisional results expected in two or three days.
Under Cape Verde's election rules, if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the two top candidates will compete in a runoff on November 29. Emigration and ties with the diaspora featured alongside youth employment among the central campaign issues.
