The Portuguese presidential election of 1991 was held on 13 January. The re-election of the hugely popular Mário Soares was never in doubt, specially after the then-ruling PSD, led by prime-minister Aníbal Cavaco Silva announced its support. Therefore, the election held on 13 January 1991 was a landslide, and no second round was needed. As the election of a left-wing candidate was assured, the major left-wing parties, the Portuguese Communist Party and the People's Democratic Union, presented their own candidates. The communists presented Carlos Carvalhas, who had been Assistant General Secretary of the Party a year before (Álvaro Cunhal was the General Secretary). Carvalhas would later be elected General Secretary, in 1992. On the right, as the Social Democratic Party supported Soares, the Democratic and Social Center presented the only right-wing candidate, Basílio Horta. Mário Soares achieved the majority of the votes in every district of the country, and 302 of the then 305 municipalities. His score was the biggest ever in a presidential election in Portugal. ==Results== Summary of the 13 January 1991 Portuguese presidential election results |- !style="background-color:#E9E9E9" align=left colspan="2" rowspan="2"|Candidates !style="background-color:#E9E9E9" align=left rowspan="2"|Supporting parties 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portuguese presidential election, 1991」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
