Portugal's presidential election features a record 11 candidates, with a populist party leader poised for a potential breakthrough. The large field makes a first-round win unlikely, leading to a possible runoff next month. Almost 11 million people can vote, with results expected late Sunday. Among the frontrunners is André Ventura of the populist Chega party, known for his anti-immigrant stance. Other leading candidates include Luís Marques Mendes from the Social Democratic Party and António José Seguro of the Socialist Party. The president, largely a figurehead, can veto legislation and dissolve parliament. A runoff is set for Feb. 8.
