Lisbon reelects mayor less than six weeks after horror funicular crash

Lisbon’s mayor, Carlos Moedas, has secured re-election in the city’s municipal vote, less than six weeks after a devastating funicular crash killed 16 people, including 11 tourists, and sparked public outrage.

Leading a right-of-centre coalition, Mr Moedas garnered 42 per cent of the vote in Lisbon, compared with 34 per cent for second-placed left-of-centre leader Alexandra Leitão. These official results were published late on Sunday.
