The elections consisted of three separate elections in the 305 Portuguese municipalities, the election for the Municipal Chambers, another election for the Municipal Assembly and a last one for the lower-level Parish Assembly, whose winner is elected parish president. This last was held separately in the more than 4,200 parishes around the country. For the first time since democracy was restored, the center-left to left-wing parties won a nationwide local election. The Socialist Party won the status of largest local party, a title the Socialists would hold on until 2001, and gained control of many big cities across the country, like Lisbon and Porto.Jornal de Negócios 2017 As cores políticas que pintam o mapa do poder local de 1976 a 2013 https://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/economia/politica/eleicoes/detalhe/as-cores-politicas-que-pintam-o-mapa-do-poder-local-de-1976-a-2013 pt In Lisbon, the PS leader, Jorge Sampaio, in a coalition with CDU, defeated the PSD/CDS candidate, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, by a 49 to 42 percent margin. The Socialists had a net gain of 41 cities, winning important cities like Guimarães, Coimbra, Faro and Vila Nova de Gaia. The Social Democrats (PSD), were the big losers of the elections. The party lost its status as the largest local party and suffered heavy losses across the country, particularly in the big cities. The PSD lost a total of 35 cities, although was able to increase its vote share to 35 percent. The results contrasted with the landslide election victory of the PSD in the 1987 general elections. Many of Cavaco Silva's government policies such as privatizations, which was creating some unemployment, or the tensions with some workers unions, like the Police protests in April 1989,Expresso 2016 "Secos e Molhados" na primeira pessoa: (Re)viver a História https://expresso.sapo.pt/sociedade/2016-04-21-Secos-e-Molhados-na-primeira-pessoa--Re-viver-a-Historia pt may have had a negative effect on the PSD's results. The Democratic Unity Coalition (CDU) gained 3 cities, compared with 1985, and maintained their control of the Alentejo region. Nonetheless, the Communist/Green coalition suffered a big drop in its vote share, dropping 6 points to around 13 percent. The CDU was able to hold on to their bastions of Beja, Évora and Almada. The Democratic and Social Centre (CDS), just like the PSD, had a very poor showing, winning 20 cities, a drop of 7 cities. The party lost some important cities to either the PS or PSD, such as Póvoa de Varzim, Leiria and Viseu. At the same time, CDS made several coalitions with the PS in Azores and Madeira, and, together, the PS/CDS coalitions won a combined total of 3 cities. Other smaller parties also made gains, like the UDP which gained Machico, Madeira islands, from the PSD Turnout in these elections was lower compared with 4 years ago, with 60.9 percent of the electorate casting a ballot. Background Electoral system All 305 municipalities are allocated a certain number of councilors to elect corresponding to the number of registered voters in a given municipality. 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.Eleição dos titulares dos órgãos das autarquias locais. Diário da República (in Portuguese.) Retrieved 17 July 2025. By-elections (1985–1989) During the normal four-year term of local governments, one municipal council by-election was held in the municipality of Fundão on 18 October 1987, adding to this, one hundred and fifty-nine parishes also held a by-election for parish assemblies.Comissão Nacional de Eleições Eleições / Referendos https://www.cne.pt/content/eleicoes-referendos 10 March 2026 pt +City control in by-elections (1985–1989)Date Municipality Population Previous control New control18 October 1987Fundão32,089Social Democratic Party (PSD)Socialist Party (PS) Parties The main political forces involved in the election were: Democratic and Social Centre (CDS)1, 2 Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU)1 Socialist Party (PS)1 Social Democratic Party (PSD) 2 1 The PS formed coalitions with CDS, CDU and MDP/CDE in several municipalities. 2 The PS formed coalitions with CDS and PPM in some municipalities.
