Portuguese-speaking African countries had their specific trajectories. Over the years 1973 to 1975, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique, Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe and Angola, in that order, became independent. These countries followed the political configuration led by a single party until the 1990s. In this sense, São Tomé e Príncipe and Cabo Verde, in addition to having similarities in their context of formation, share similarities in terms of political history with regard to the redemocratization process initiated in the 1990s. This dissertation is intended to comparatively study the semipresidential systems of government in São Tomé e Príncipe and Cabo Verde after democratization, starting from the independence process, passing through the discussion of the pluralist transition and arriving at the assumptions of governability that emerged after the first elections in 1991. At first, the dissertation presents some aspects of democratization in Africa and its structures of a one-party regime. In the following moment, the theoretical processo f semi-presidentialism its variatios are discussed, and then its addresses the multiparty regime of the two countries in question is discussed. Finally, the text presents how the electoral system works in both countries, as well as describing their political parties. Therefore, the text carries out a comparative political analysis between São Tomé e Príncipe and Cabo Verde, mainly from 1991 to 2022, as a way of understanding the governmental dynamics employed by the two archipelagos in question.
