Portugal elects Socialist as president by landslide, but far right grows

Moderate Socialist Antonio Jose Seguro secured a landslide victory and a five-year term as Portugal's president in a runoff vote on Sunday, beating his far-right, anti-establishment rival Andre Ventura.
Seguro, who received backing from prominent conservatives after the first round amid concerns over what many see as Ventura's populist, authoritarian tendencies, becomes the first Socialist head of state in 20 years, succeeding Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, a conservative, after two terms in office.
