Socialist sweeps to victory in Portugal's presidential election
The Guardian
|February 10, 2026
The moderate Socialist candidate, António José Seguro, won a resounding victory in the second round of Portugal's presidential election on Sunday, triumphing over his far-right opponent, André Ventura, whose Chega party still managed to take a record share of the vote.
Seguro won 66.8% of votes to Ventura's 33.2% in the election, which went ahead despite weeks of disruption caused by deadly storms.
The vote to elect a successor to the outgoing president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, was marked by a cross-party push to head off the prospect of a Chega victory, with some senior rightwing figures throwing their weight behind the centre-left candidate to keep Ventura from entering the presidential palace.
Seguro said: “The response the Portuguese people gave today, their commitment to freedom, democracy, and the future of our country, leaves me naturally moved and proud of our nation.”
