In a decisive electoral victory, António José Seguro from the Socialist Party has been elected as President of Portugal, defeating his far-right challenger in a presidential runoff marked by high voter turnout despite severe weather conditions. This election is seen as a significant moment for moderate politics in Portugal, as voters opted for Seguro over a surging populist candidate. The result underscores a clear preference among the electorate to prevent the rise of the far-right, with both conservative and leftist voters rallying behind Seguro to maintain stability in the political landscape.
