Centre-left candidate poised to comfortably win Portuguese presidency
Centre-left candidate António José Seguro is poised to comfortably beat his far-right rival to the Portuguese presidency after a run-off vote.
With 95% of votes counted, Seguro has won 66%, with the leader of the far-right Chega (Enough) party, André Ventura, trailing behind on 34%.
...
Thousands of self-declared "non-socialists" had signed an open letter backing Seguro for president, including former conservative ministers.
The former Socialist Party leader is now set to succeed the conservative Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa as president.

Mainly ceremonial, but still good to see.
