Biography

Jorge Nuno de Sá was a member of the Social Democratic Party, having served as a member of the Assembly of the Republic from Viana do Castelo from 2002 to 2005. He was also the leader of the Social Democratic Youth from 29 September 2002 to March 2005.[2]

In November 2010, he was the only member of the council of the PSD to vote against the candidacy of incumbent President Cavaco Silva in the 2011 presidential election.[3] In February 2011 he married a man, in what was the first same-sex marriage of a Portuguese politician.[4]

After leaving the Social Democratic Party following disagreements with Pedro Passos Coelho, at the time the leader of the PSD, Sá joined Alliance, a party created by former Prime minister Pedro Santana Lopes. Following the 2019 election, when Alliance failed to elect any seats in the Assembly of the Republic, Santana Lopes left the party, leaving Paulo Bento as its leader. Nuno de Sá ran for the leadership in October 2021, becoming the third President of Alliance.[5]

In the 2021 local elections, Jorge Nuno de Sá was a candidate for the municipal assembly of Lisbon, running under the New Times coalition of Carlos Moedas, being elected.
