The official list of presidential candidates has not been published yet. Nominations run Oct. 26 – Nov. 6, 2026 under the IEC calendar. The IEC then reviews each nomination and publishes the approved candidates. Vote Book will list every approved candidate here, with the same information for each, once the IEC publishes the list.
Collecting a nomination form does not make someone a candidate, so we do not list aspirants.
The President is elected nationwide. The candidate with the most votes wins.
