Portuguese citizens headed to the polls on Sunday for the third parliamentary election in three years, amidst concerns of continued political uncertainty and the likelihood of another minority government.
Millions of Portuguese voters are casting their ballots in a highly anticipated election, sparked by the collapse of the center-right minority government earlier this year. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, whose Democratic Alliance (AD) party is projected to secure the most votes, faces challenges in forming a stable government due to a likely lack of parliamentary majority.
The election campaign has been marked by debates on critical issues such as housing and immigration, with Montenegro denying allegations of misconduct over his family’s consultancy dealings. Despite his party’s lead in the polls, voter skepticism over prolonged political instability remains high.
Observers note the potential for a coalition between AD and the pro-business Liberal Initiative (IL) party, though projections suggest this alliance may fall short of securing a parliamentary majority. Meanwhile, the far-right Chega party continues to poll in third place, with its leader Andre Ventura recently returning to the campaign after health issues.
