Jorge Carlos Fonseca was elected President in the second round of the 2011 Cape Verdean presidential election, making Lígia Fonseca the fourth First Lady of Cape Verde.

On April 30, 2001, Fonseca became the first woman to be elected President of the Cape Verdian Lawyers' Association (Ordem dos Advogados de Cabo Verde). A dissenting group of lawyers argued that she had not been a member of OAC for at least 10 years, but her election was upheld. Fonseca's inauguration as the first female head of the OAC took place on 19 May 2001. She served as President from 2001 until 2004, when she was succeeded by Dr. Carlos Alberto Veiga.
They then moved to Macau, where her husband had been hired as a law professor at the University of Macau. The couple moved to Cape Verde in 1991, marking the first time she had lived in an African country since leaving Mozambique in 1976.
Dias remained in Lisbon, despite hopes of returning to Beira. She enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Lisbon, where she earned her law degree. She met her future husband, Jorge Carlos Fonseca, who is Cape Verdean, in 1987 while attending the university. The couple married on March 26, 1989, at a ceremony in Portugal. They have three daughters.
