This chapter builds on the theoretical exposé of the notion of political humanness in Guinea-Bissau, discerned from the inclusionary-exclusion of the spirit-children, to materialise the institutional configurations matching these operating power principles. These principles inform local and informal politics, which run in parallel to and in integration with the state. They speak of a communitarian understanding of community and politics that highly praises the intersubjective and relational space rather than the single individual. The relational and communal priorities sustain practices and modi operandi of endogenous authorities, composed of chiefs along with councils, dialogical discussion, and consensual decision-making. The potentials and shortcomings of consensual democracy are discussed, recalling the debate in African political thought. The discussion polarises between strenuous advocates of consensus as the “authentically African” political way (Kwesi, 2021; Teffo, 2004; Wiredu, 2007) against the sceptics of its respect for inclusion, freedoms, and diversity (Ani, 2014; Matolino, 2018a). The insight from political practices in Guinea-Bissau contributes to the understanding of the power relations that corroborate the suitability of consensus in this socio-political context. In addition to an evaluative approach to the democratic value of consensus, I consider the materialities of its practices today. The post-colonial political system that integrates state and indigenous authorities, at the formal and informal level, creates a heterogenous scenario.
