Faustino Imbali
Faustino Fudut Imbali (born May 1, 1956 ) is a former Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau .
Political career
Imbali is a sociologist. He ran in the 1999 presidential election after the end of the civil war and, as an independent candidate, came third with 8.22% of the votes in the first ballot on November 28, 1999 and was eliminated. In the second ballot, he voted for Kumba Ialá , who won the election in early 2000.
During Ialá's presidency, he was Prime Minister of a minority government from March 21, 2001 to December 9, 2001; he had been Foreign Minister of the previous government since January 2001 . In parliament, his government was mainly supported by Ialá's Partido para a Renovação Social (PRS), which Imbali joined shortly before his appointment. Ialá dismissed the government when he and the government came under increasing criticism after the arrest of some officers for alleged coup plans and the dismissal of several ministers and judges of the Supreme Court by Ialá. His successor was the previous Minister of the Interior, Nhassé.
In July 2002, President Ialá accused Imbali of being responsible for the disappearance of the equivalent of US $ 15 million during his tenure. The case could not be solved. In 2003 he founded the Partido Manifesto do Provo (PMP) party and ran in the 2005 presidential elections. In the first ballot on June 19, 2005, he was tenth among the candidates with 2,330 votes (0.52%) and was eliminated again.
Imbali was arrested by soldiers on June 5, 2009 for alleged involvement in the planning of an attempted coup aimed at the murder of the Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Júnior and the interim army chief of staff Jose Zamora Induta . The presidential candidate Baciro Dabo and ex-defense minister Hélder Proença , who are also alleged to have been involved in the alleged conspiracy, were shot dead by soldiers on the same day. Imbali's death was initially reported, but this was later revised. Imbali was then apparently in custody.
On October 29, 2019, the acting President José Mário Vaz reappointed him as Prime Minister; after eleven days, however, Imbali had to resign under pressure from ECOWAS . Former Prime Minister Aristides Gomes got his office back.
