PSD wins interim elections in Belinho (Esposende) with absolute majority

Now14 September 2026 at 10:04

PSD won the interim elections in the parish of Belinho, in the municipality of Esposende, achieving an absolute majority. This victory allows the party to govern the parish assembly with autonomous decision-making capacity.

The conquest of the absolute majority represents a significant milestone for PSD in that locality, demonstrating a shift in the local political balance after the previous governing period.

This victory came following several failed attempts to constitute a parish assembly. The difficulties in forming an assembly board contributed to the convening of these interim elections.

The result of these elections now allows Belinho to have a stable governance structure, putting an end to the period of political uncertainty that existed in the parish.

Why this matters

Residents of Belinho will now have a functioning parish assembly after months of frustrated attempts. PSD, by achieving an absolute majority, will be able to govern without needing agreements with other political forces, guaranteeing stability in local municipal management.
