Answer

Rui Costa won the 2014 presidential election in the first round with a commanding victory, securing more than the required 50% of the votes cast. His success can be attributed to several key factors, including a fragmented opposition and his association with Then-ruling Socialist Party. Costa also benefited from his high visibility as a former professional cyclist and his focus on policies aimed at social cohesion.
