Against a weak opposition, António Costa, mayor since 2007, was elected for a full second term, defeating Fernando Seara, by then incumbent and term limited mayor of Sintra, of the Feel Lisbon coalition between the Social Democratic Party (PSD), CDS–People's Party (CDS–PP) and Earth Party (MPT) by a landslide, 51 to 22 percent.PS vence Lisboa com maioria absoluta https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/politica/ps-vence-lisboa-com-maioria-absoluta_n684135 2013-09-29 2024-03-02 www.rtp.pt pt-PT Seara's candidacy was surrounded in controversy due to the recent changes in the law that established term limits for mayors. This law prohibits a candidate, after having served for three terms, to run for Mayor, Municipal Assemblies or Parish Assemblies. But the law did not explicitly state whether it prohibits reelection only for the same municipality or parish, or for the same position in any municipality or parish."De" na lei chumba candidatura de Fernando Seara https://www.dn.pt/politica/de-na-lei-chumba-candidatura-de-fernando-seara-3119550.html/ 2013-03-20 2024-03-02 www.dn.pt pt-PT This matter was only resolved on 5 September 2013 with a ruling of the Constitutional Court allowing mayoral candidates that had already served three consecutive mandates to run for election in a different municipality.http://www.publico.pt/politica/noticia/tribunal-constitucional-da-luz-verde-a-candidatura-de-luis-filipe-menezes-ao-porto-1605029 Tribunal Constitucional dá luz verde aos candidatos autárquicos com três mandatos Público 5 September 2013 8 September 2013 Público pt The Unitary Democratic Coalition presented incumbent MEP João Ferreira as their mayoral candidate and won nearly 10 percent of the votes and gained one seat, electing two in total. The Left Bloc, presented João Semedo as candidate for Mayor, but failed to win a seat. Turnout was the second lowest ever, just 45.1 percent casting a ballot, surpassed only by the 2007 numbers. Background In the 2009 election, the Socialist Party led by António Costa, won an absolute majority with 44 percent of the votes and 9 councillors, defeating former Lisbon mayor and Prime Minister Pedro Santana Lopes that gathered nearly 39 percent of the votes and 7 councillors.Santana Lopes assume derrota na liderança à Câmara de Lisboa https://www.tsf.pt/micro-sites/autarquicas-2009/santana-lopes-assume-derrota-na-lideranca-a-camara-de-lisboa-1387909.html/ 2009-10-12 2024-03-02 www.tsf.pt pt-PT Electoral system Each party or coalition must present a list of candidates. The winner of the most voted list for the municipal council is automatically elected mayor, similar to first-past-the-post (FPTP). The lists are closed and the seats in each municipality are apportioned according to the D'Hondt method. Unlike in national legislative elections, independent lists are allowed to run.Lei n.º 169/99, de 18 de Setembro https://www.pgdlisboa.pt/leis/lei_mostra_articulado.php?nid=592&tabela=leis&so_miolo=
