Sacramento was elected to the National Assembly as the member for the Mé-Zóchi District in 2010, and subsequently selected in 2014, 2018, and 2022.[1] From 2014 to 2018, she was president of the Network of Women Parliamentarians, and from 2018 to 2022 she led the third commission of the CPLP parliamentary assembly.[1] After the 2022 election, she was one of eight women elected to the 55 member parliament.[2] She was part of a group that lobbied for the approval of a parity law that came into effect on 19 November 2022, with a target of 40% women set for the next election.[3]

Sacramento was elected vice president of the Independent Democratic Action party in October 2020, under president Patrice Trovoada.[4] The party won the 2022 legislative elections, with Trovoada elected Prime Minister.[5]

Sacramento was elected president of the National Assembly on 8 November 2022 with 52 votes in favour and three abstentions.[1] She is the second woman to hold the role after poet Alda Neves da Graça do Espírito Santo (1980-1991),[5] and the first democratically elected to the role.[1] Upon her election, she said a key challenge of her mandate was the "consensual revision of the Constitution" in order to reform the Assembly.[2]
