Keep Leader of the NDP, 4th in the 2009 election, 5th in the 2014 election (and his party won a seat - can't find a list, but are you sure it's not him?) He cannot possibly count as not being a "Major local political figure". It's a bit like Jill Stein, who is also unelected , not having an article, although his party has actually won a national seat.

http://web.archive.org/web/20140719063922/http://www.gbissau.com/?page_id=11253 has a list (also https://github.com/everypolitician-scrapers/guinea-bissau-national-peoples-assembly/blob/master/gbissau-members.html); not sure if it's members as of that date or when elected but doesn't mention him.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 16:00, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(Withdrawn): While this person does lead a political party, the party is a minor one, having only gained 1 seat in a 102 seat assembly. Further, it wasn't him who held that seat, thus failing WP:NPOL. While I can find mention of him, there's no significant coverage; just listings of him. This fails WP:SIGCOV. the Jill Stein case is not comparable. As shown here, there is a very significant coverage of her. We need reliable, secondary sources that discuss the subject in detail, per WP:SIGCOV. We're not seeing that here. If such sources are found, I'm willing to reconsider but right now I'm not seeing it. --Hammersoft (talk) 03:56, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Given Number 57's links below, withdrawing my delete above. Thanks Number 57! --Hammersoft (talk) 13:41, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep He was Minister of Commerce and Industry in the most recent government ([1]) and previously served as Minister of Justice ([2]) so clearly passes WP:NPOLITICIAN. Also several stories about him that would help pass GNG ([3][4]) Pinging Hammersoft for reconsideration. Number 5 7 13:05, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
