Portugal's presidential runoff election concluded with a decisive victory for the center-left Socialist candidate António José Seguro, who secured 66.8% of the vote against the far-right populist André Ventura, who garnered 33.2%, as reported by The Hindu. This election was significant as it marked the first time in 20 years that a Socialist candidate has been elected as president, succeeding the conservative Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, according to the South China Morning Post. The election took place amid severe weather conditions, with Storm Marta causing disruptions and leading to the postponement of voting in three municipalities, as noted by The Frontier Post. Despite these challenges, voter turnout remained consistent with the first round held on January 18, as highlighted by The Guardian.
