After winning the leadership of the conservative Social Democratic Center in March 1992 , he moved the party somewhat further to the right and changed its name to the ''' People's Party ''' (PP) in 1995 . The renamed party won 9% of the popular vote and 15 deputies, at the Legislative Elections held on 1 October 1995 . This represented a partial comeback for the party that had been decimated in the Elections In Portugal of 1987 and 1991 . Heavy losses in the municipal elections of 1997 , however, led Monteiro to resign. He was replaced in 1998 by Paulo Portas , his former friend and protégé. Monteiro left the PP in 2002 following a disagreement with Portas, and founded a splinter party, the New Democracy Party (PND; ''Partido da Nova Democracia'' in Portuguese . He resigned the leadership of this party after a disappointing result in the Legislative Elections of 2005 . |
