Portuguese voters have re-elected President Anibal Cavaco Silva to another five-year term, as the incumbent beat six other contenders to avoid a runoff election. According to state-run media outlets, Silva got 53 per cent of the vote - getting support from an all-important majority, making another election unnecessary. He far outpaced his nearest competitor, Manuel Alegre, who was chosen on just under 20 per cent of ballots.
Roughly 53 per cent of Portugal's registered voters took part in Sundays' election, despite inclement weather in parts of the southwestern European nation. Silva has been president since March 9, 2006.
