Coup and presidency (2025–present)

On 26 November 2025, Inta-A participated in the coup that deposed President Umaro Sissoco Embaló which was led by Brigadier General Dinis Incanha. The formation of the High Military Command for the Restoration of National Security and Public Order was announced with Incanha becoming its chief, and thus Guinea-Bissau's de facto leader. The following day, Incanha stepped down and Inta-A was appointed and subsequently sworn in as transitional president, and thus became the new head of the military junta.

In his first act as transitional president and as head of the junta, Inta-A appointed Ilídio Vieira Té, an ally of Embaló and the current finance minister as prime minister.

He proclaimed on 5 December 2025 that there will be zero tolerance in the fight against drug dealers.

On 22 January 2026, Inta-A announced a decree authorising elections for the legislature and the presidency to be held on 6 December 2026, after it deemed that "all the conditions for organising free, fair and transparent elections have been met".

On 4 March 2026 Inta-A met with Bishop of Roman Catholic Diocese of Bafatá, Víctor Luís Quematcha.

On 11 March 2026, the transitional government set price control for nuts. Inta-A said he wants the 2026 cashew campaign to be “the ultimate opportunity for the valorisation” of the product.

In late March the body of anti-military junta activist Vigario Luis Balanta of the Po di Terra movement was found lifeless in a rice feld, due this protests started against the military junta, the protesters claim that the military junta is behind the death of Balanta. It's speculated that Umaro Sissoco Embaló might be installed as President, to stop the protests.

On 10 August 2026, Inta-A had his first foreign trip, the first country he visited was Republic of Chad.

On 30 August 2026, Inta voted in the constitutional referendum.
