Samuel Varela, sole candidate, calls for participation in the elections for the County Political Commission
Vila Nova Sintra, October 17, 2025 - Samuel Varela, the only candidate for the presidency of the Movement for Democracy's County Political Committee, is stepping up his campaign with a primary focus on mobilizing voters to go to the polls next Sunday, October 19.
Despite being the only name running for office, Varela is not slowing down his work and his main goal is to ensure a strong turnout for the vote, seeing the election more as proof of the vitality and unity of the council structure than as a mere formality.
According to Bravanews, the core of Varela's campaign lies in his direct appeal to members and supporters to turn out and actively participate in next Sunday's voting process. The candidate has been touring all the localities, making contacts and emphasizing the importance of everyone's participation in shaping the local political future.
In statements quoted by the same media outlet, Samuel Varela expressed his optimism and satisfaction with the receptivity shown so far. "I'm very pleased with the turnout and I'm hopeful that we'll get a good vote," said Varela, expressing confidence in the local structure's ability to mobilize.
Varela's campaign, centered on internal civic participation, demonstrates a vision of leadership that values the legitimacy conferred by the grassroots, even in the absence of direct competition. The mobilization for the 19 October elections is seen as a crucial step towards strengthening internal cohesion and the future president's mandate, allowing him to start his work with a strong show of support from the municipal members. The result of the turnout will therefore be a key indicator of the strength and commitment of the organization under his imminent leadership.
