There were five candidates, including incumbent President [[Manuel Pinto da Costa]],<ref>[http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2016/07/15/des-elections-pour-l-archipel-africain-sao-tome-et-principe_4970305_3212.html Des élections pour l’archipel africain Sao Tomé et Principe] Le Monde, 15 July 2016 {{frin iconlang|fr}}</ref> two former prime ministers, [[Evaristo Carvalho]] from [[Independent Democratic Action]] and [[Maria das Neves]] from the [[Movement for the Liberation of São Tomé and Príncipe/Social Democratic Party|MLSTP/PSD]], as well as two [[Independent politician|independents]].
 
Carvalho stood as the candidate of the ruling ADI, the party of Prime Minister [[Patrice Trovoada]]. Carvalho was initially declared the winner in the first round with slightly more than 50% of the vote, but Carvalho's score was subsequently adjusted downward to 49.888%, necessitating a second round against President Pinto da Costa. However, Pinto da Costa refused to participate in the second round, alleging fraud and calling for a boycott.<ref>[https://www.yahoo.com/news/sao-tome-votes-runoff-boycotted-president-032621810.html?nhp=1 Sao Tome votes in runoff boycotted by president] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160829051824/https://www.yahoo.com/news/sao-tome-votes-runoff-boycotted-president-032621810.html?nhp=1 |date=2016-08-29 }} Agence France-Presse, 6 August 2016</ref>
