The '''Portuguese localLocal elections''' ofwere '''2001'''held tookin place[[Portugal]] on 16 December 2001. The elections consisted of three separate elections in the 308 [[Municipalities of Portugal|Portuguese municipalities]], the election for the [[Câmara Municipal|Municipal Chambers]], whose winner is automatically elected mayor, similar to [[First-past-the-post voting|first-past-the-post]] (FPTP), another election for the [[Assembleia Municipal|Municipal Assembly]] and a last one for the lower-level [[Freguesia|Parish Assembly]], whose winner is elected parish president. This last was held separately in the more than 4,200 parishes around the country.
 
The Social Democratic Party (PSD) won the elections by a landslide, defying polls in many cities across the country in particular the three main cities, Lisbon, Porto and Sintra.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.publico.pt/2001/12/22/jornal/o-povo-contra-as-sondagens-165633|title=O povo contra as sondagens|author=[[Público (Portugal)|Público]] |date=22 December 2001|access-date= 31 July 2021|work=Público |language=pt}}</ref> The victory of the PSD in these local election was the first since 1985, the last time the PSD won more mayors than the Socialists, although in 1997, the PS and PSD basically tied in number of elected mayors. The PSD won 11 of the 20 district capitals mainly Lisbon, won by [[Pedro Santana Lopes]], and Porto, won by [[Rui Rio]], plus many suburban cities like [[Sintra]], [[Cascais]], [[Vila Nova de Famalicão]] and [[Penafiel]] swung also to the Social Democrats.
 
The Socialist Party (PS) was the biggest loser of these elections. After 6 years in power governing without an absolute majority and adding to this a bad economy, the PS hopes of maintaining the largest number of mayors were slashed. The defeat was worse than expected because of loses in the main cities of Lisbon and Porto, where polls showed the PS with a solid lead. Because of the bad results of the party and a prospect of political instability, [[Prime Minister of Portugal|Prime Minister]] [[António Guterres]] resigned on election night stating that the country should not fall in "a political swamp".
 
The election was also very bad for [[Democratic Unity Coalition]] (CDU) in which they achieved their worst result in local elections till that date. The Communist-Green alliance lost 13 mayoral races plus 37 councillors and lost big cities like [[Évora]] and [[Loures]] to the PS. The People's Party also had a poor showing losing 5 cities, although this time they celebrated more coalitions with the PSD. On the other hands, the election returns were quite good for other smaller parties: the [[Left Bloc (Portugal)|Left Bloc]] (BE) won 1 city ([[Salvaterra de Magos]]) from CDU and the [[Earth Party]] won [[Celorico da Beira]] from the PS. Independent movements were also allowed to run in these elections for the first time and won 3 cities.
