António Andrade

The President of the Social Democratic Party of Olhão

Elected leader of the Political Committee of the Olhão PSD Section in November 2021, António Andrade was born, grew up and lives in our town. At 42, he is married, father of two children and a successful businessman, partner of several companies. He has a degree in Geographical Engineering and a post-graduate degree in Municipal Coordination of Civil Protection.

A member of the Social Democratic Party since 2004, he claims to be ideologically Christian and says he is in politics out of conviction, seeing himself as a free-thinking, reformist and ambitious man when it comes to the values of Social Democracy. His objective is to enforce and affirm the PSD Olhão, building a strong, responsible and credible opposition, which becomes a true alternative, capable of the change that the Municipality of Olhão needs to evolve socioeconomically.

I do not see politics as a career, or even a profession, but rather as the fulfilment of a duty of citizenship.
