Francisco Fadul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francisco José Fadul (born 15 December 1953) is a Guinea-Bissau politician and former Prime Minister. He held that position from 3 December 1998 to 19 February 2000 and is leader of the United Social Democratic Party (PUSD), one of the country's main political parties.
In May 2005, Fadul was initially barred from running for president in the 2005 presidential election by the Supreme Court, due to a technicality, but the Court reversed itself and approved his candidacy shortly afterward.[1] Running as the PUSD presidential candidate, he placed fourth with 2.85% of the vote in the elections, held on 19 June 2005.[2]
