Left-wing candidate Antonio José Seguro has won Portugal’s presidential election by a wide margin, defeating far-right contender André Ventura. The country’s election commission announced on Sunday that Seguro, leader of the Socialist Party, secured 63 percent of the votes, while Ventura, head of the right-wing Chega party, received 34 percent. A total of 97 percent of registered voters cast their ballots in the runoff.
The runoff election was held on February 7 after the original vote scheduled for January 18 was disrupted by severe flooding in Portugal’s central and southern regions. Voting had taken place only in the northern areas on that date, where about 37,000 people—roughly 0.3 percent of the electorate—were able to cast ballots. The election commission later postponed the remaining voting and combined all ballots in the final count.
The inclusion of votes from both rounds confirmed Seguro’s decisive victory, marking a strong mandate for the Socialist Party following the weather-related delays.
