Portugal chooses between a moderate and a populist in runoff presidential election

LISBON: Center-left Socialist candidate António José Seguro is heavily favored to defeat hard-right populist André Ventura in Portugal’s runoff presidential election Sunday in a vote that will test the depth of support for Ventura’s brash style of politics. Recent opinion polls say Seguro will collect twice as many votes as Ventura in the head-to-head between the two top candidates in last month’s first round of voting, when none of the runners captured the more than 50 percent of the vote required for victory.
