Two Bissau ballot papers with flags

Here is an excellent source (second-hand) showing the flags of all political parties that took part in Parliamentary Elections in Guine-Bissau in 2008.
Valentin Poposki, 19 Feb 2010

See the full list at the Ace Project Bissau Guinea page. (There’s similar stuff for other countries, too.) Larger images are available from the original source:

• Eleição para a Assembleia Nacional Popular : Bissau : Círculo Eleitoral N.º 28 (28th Constituency of Bissau for the Parliament Election): complete ballot paper and enlarged details (top with heading and bottom)
• Eleição para a Assembleia Nacional Popular : Bissau : Círculo Eleitoral N.º 29 (29th Constituency of Bissau for the Parliament Election); the number is hardly visible, maybe it is 23): complete ballot paper

I believe that they are from the same 2004 elections, but from different electoral districts (as indicated in the header of the ballot paper, districts 28 and 29), so some different parties were running in each.
Željko Heimer, 20 Feb 2010

Yes, as expected, not all parties run for all constituencies; also, some of the parties are allied in a pre-announced post-electoral coalition UM - União para a Mudança.
António Martins, 02 Mar 2010

The ballot papers in question do not match any of the candidate party lists shown in Wikipedia for either 2004 and 2008.

Unido coalition

According to “A Transição Democrática na Guiné-Bissau : Um Parto Dificil” article by Carlos Cardoso in Lusotopie 1995: 259, there was a politically heterogenous Unido coalition, created in November 1992, formed by P.C.D., P.D.P., P.D.P., and FLING
