Portugal moves to a presidential runoff between centre-left Socialist Antonio Jose Seguro and far-right challenger Andre Ventura after neither won 50% in the first round; polls suggested Seguro was the favourite to win, as storms hit the country and the largely ceremonial presidency still wields influence through veto power and the ability to dissolve parliament.
