Guilherme Posser da Costa (born 1953) was Prime Minister of São Tomé and Príncipe from 1999 to 2001.[ [http://english.people.com.cn/200502/17/eng20050217_173865.html "Sao Tome's ex-PM accuses president of "insulting" parliament"] , Xinhua ("People's Daily Online"), February 17, 2005.] ]Posser da Costa served as Minister of Foreign Affairs on three different occasions: 1987-1988, 1990-1991, and 1994-1996. He later served as Prime Minister from 5 January 1999 to 26 September 2001.
In early November 2004, Posser da Costa allegedly damaged the office of Attorney General Adelino Pereira in an attack. Pereira said this was due to an investigation regarding embezzlement of aid funds and ordered Posser da Costa's arrest.

For his part, Posser da Costa said that Pereira had falsely accused him of being involved in the embezzlement of aid funds, and that he had only been a witness in that case, not a suspect.

There were 708 votes in favor of Posser da Costa, who was the only candidate, and three votes against him.
