André Ventura Announces Candidacy for President of the Republic
André Ventura, the leader of the Chega party, has officially announced his candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic. The announcement was made on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, with the official presentation scheduled for 5 PM that same day.
Ventura had previously discussed the possibility of running during the Chega National Council held last Saturday in Lisbon, where he mentioned it might not be the "ideal" scenario. He also admitted considering supporting Henrique Gouveia e Melo but ultimately decided against it.
This move is expected to have significant implications for the upcoming presidential elections in Portugal, stirring debates and reactions across the political spectrum.
