PSD decides to repeat Espinho local branch elections that resulted in victory for candidate sidelined by Luís Montenegro

📍 Aveiro🏛️ Government#psd+1 more

The PSD local branch leader in Espinho, Ricardo Sousa, has appealed a decision by the District Jurisdiction Council to repeat the February 28 internal elections, in which he defeated deputy Carolina Marques by two votes. The decision, based on discrepancies between voter numbers and ballots cast, is viewed by Sousa as an attempt by Prime Minister Luís Montenegro to overturn the result because his preferred candidate, supported by his wife Carla Montenegro, lost. Sousa claims the irregularities occurred in district-level voting rather than local-level voting and accuses the party leadership of undemocratic practices, noting he was previously blocked from running for mayor of Espinho. The appeal is now before the National Jurisdiction Council, led by Health Minister Ana Paula Martins.
