With the campaign entering its final week, António José Seguro has shifted from leftward appeals to target centrist and moderate voters, presenting himself as a 'calm force' who would be a 'courageous' but not 'irresponsible' president. The move is framed as a strategic pivot to neutralise perceptions that he is insecure and to broaden his appeal while he remains well placed in the polls. The approach balances promises of principled leadership with a deliberate emphasis on stability, but risks alienating his left‑wing base even as it seeks centre ground.
