Gunshots rang out near the Electoral Commission headquarters in Bissau on Wednesday as officials continued collating results from the country’s nine regions. WADR’s team on the ground reports that the building came under attack while the process was underway.

Although it remains unclear who ordered the gunfire or the motive behind it, The Africa Report suggests that President Umaro Sissoko Embaló may be under arrest, a claim yet to be independently confirmed.

The situation in the capital remains tense, with sporadic gunfire reported around key administrative areas as residents monitor developments closely.

Citizens and observers now await the provisional election results expected on Thursday, November 27, 2025, amid rising uncertainty and security concerns.
