Portugal’s far-right Chega party has won its first mayoral seats in local elections, final results showed, but fell well short of expectations as its vote share halved from parliamentary elections in May.
The six-year-old nationalist party, whose name means “Enough”, took control of three city halls: São Vicente on the island of Madeira; the central town of Entroncamento; and Albufeira in the south. It won an 11.86% share of the overall vote.
