The list also includes the names of Jorge Botelho, deputy and former mayor in Tavira, Telmo Pinto, president of the Parish Council of Quarteira, Tatiana Gouveia, municipal deputy of the PS in Faro, and Ilda Pereira.
Eight more Algarvians were elected as substitutes, also with three mayors: Hugo Pereira (Lagos), Luís Encarnação (Lagoa) and Rute Silva (Vila do Bispo).
These are joined by Ricardo Calé, councilor of the Olhão Chamber, Marlene Guerreiro, vice-president of the São Brás de Alportel Chamber, and Luis Alberto, president of the Ferragudo Parish Council.
The list of substitutes also includes Sofia Belchior, Maria da Luz and Nicolae Santos.
