The 2021 Lisbon local election was held on 26 September 2021 to elect the members of the Lisbon City Council.
In what was the biggest surprise of the 2021 municipal elections, Carlos Moedas, the candidate of the center-right coalition led by the Social Democratic Party, managed to be elected Mayor of Lisbon and put an end to 14 years of Socialist rule.[1] Against all expectations, the center-right coalition managed to regain the capital by winning 34.3% of the votes and 7 councilors.[2] Despite his victory, Carlos Moedas will have to seek understandings with the other parties represented in the City Council.
The big loser in this election was Fernando Medina, candidate of the Socialist Party (which ran in alliance with LIVRE), as he lost his reelection bid, an office he had hold since 2015 and which had been in Socialist hands since 2007. Unexpectedly, the Socialists lost almost 10% of the votes, compared with the previous election, with Medina labeling the defeat as "personal".[3]
The Unitary Democratic Coalition presented former MEP João Ferreira again and achieved positive results, registering a slight electoral growth to 10.5%, the best result for CDU since 2005, and that guaranteed two Communist councilors.[4] The Left Bloc, which now supported Beatriz Gomes Dias as a candidate for mayor, managed to keep their sole seat in the municipal council, despite having registered a slight drop in votes.[5]
People-Animals-Nature, CHEGA, and Liberal Initiative failed to elect any councilor.
