2017 Lisbon local election

The 2017 Lisbon local election was held on 1 October 2017 to elect the members of the Lisbon City Council.

Against a fractured opposition, Fernando Medina, mayor since the resignation of António Costa in 2015, was elected for a full term, defeating Assunção Cristas (CDS-PP leader) and Teresa Leal Coelho (PSD). Despite the victory, the Socialist Party lost its majority by one seat, having to rely of the Left Bloc's support.

The Unitary Democratic Coalition presented former MEP João Ferreira again and achieved similar results, and that guaranteed two Communist councilors. The Left Bloc, with Ricardo Robles as the candidate for Mayor, managed to gain a councillor seat for the first time in 10 years.

People-Animals-Nature, with Inês Sousa Real as its candidate, failed to elect any councilor.

Background
In the 2013 election, the Socialist Party led by António Costa, won with an absolute majority. The PSD-CDS coalition led by Fernando Seara got about 22 percent of the votes, the worse result for the center right ever in Lisbon.

In 2014, Costa won the Socialist primary and became the leader of the Socialist Party. He resigned to focus on the campaign for the 2015 legislative elections, being replaced by Fernando Medina.

Electoral system
Each party or coalition must present a list of candidates. The lists are closed and the seats in each municipality are apportioned according to the D'Hondt method. Unlike in national legislative elections, independent lists are allowed to run.
