New PAICV government sworn in

    ABIDJAN

    A new government took over in Cape Verde on Thursday with the swearing in of Prime Minister Jose Maria Neves, whose Partido Africano da Independencia de Cabo Verde (PAICV) won parliamentary elections in January, the Portuguese news agency, Lusa, reported.

    In his acceptance speech, Neves, whose party led the West African archipelago to independence in 1975 and was in opposition for 10 years before the recent elections, promised "to work with the people", Lusa said.

    President Antonio Mascarenhas Monteiro said the new cabinet would run the country until the new parliament is convened. In the meantime, campaigns continue for a presidential election to be held on 11 February.
