2019 Madeiran regional election

After the party's dismal result in the 2015 reginal election, just 11 percent of the votes, the then PS leader, Victor Freitas resigned and a leadership ballot was called.{{cite web|url=https://sol.sapo.pt/2015/05/25/carlos-pereira-sera-o-novo-lider-do-ps-madeira/ |date=2015-05-25 |title=Carlos Pereira será o novo líder do PS-Madeira

|publisher=Sol|access-date=24 February 2024}} Carlos João Pereira was the sole candidate for the leadership and was elected with 70% of the votes.{{cite web|url=https://www.publico.pt/2015/05/30/politica/noticia/carlos-pereira-quer-um-novo-caminho-para-o-psmadeira-1697379 |date=2015-05-30 |title=Carlos Pereira quer um novo caminho para o PS-Madeira |publisher=Público|access-date=24 February 2024}} However, Pereira's leadership divided the party, as he spent much more time in the Assembly of the Republic, in Lisbon, rather than in Madeira. A leadership ballot was called for 19 January 2018 and two candidates were on the ballot: Incumbent leader Carlos Pereira and Porto Moniz mayor, Emanuel Câmara. Câmara defeated Pereira by a 57 to 43 percent margin.{{cite web|url=https://www.publico.pt/2018/01/20/politica/noticia/emanuel-camara-e-novo-lider-do-psmadeira-mas-e-cafofo-quem-mais-ordena-1800156 |date=2018-01-20 |title=Emanuel Câmara é novo líder do PS-Madeira, mas é Cafôfo quem mais ordena |publisher=Público|access-date=24 February 2024}} The results were the following:

For the first time in democracy, the PSD failed to win an outright majority of seats and was forced to negotiate with other parties. Shortly after, the party reached a deal with CDS – People's Party (CDS–PP) to form a coalition government. On 13 November 2019, the regional parliament approved Albuquerque's second led government, the first coalition government in Madeira:
