Portugal s opposition centre-right party won Sunday s general election while support for populist far-right Chega surged making it a kingmaker in the new parliament, an exit poll indicated.
Portugal's centre-right Democratic Alliance was poised to finish first in Sunday's parliamentary election, according to the early results, but short of an outright majority. The populist, far-right Chega party came third with over 19% of the vote, almost tripling its result in the last election in early 2022, when it won 7.2%. The Democratic Alliance (AD) garnered around 31.5% of votes with over 70% of ballots counted, while the incumbent leftwing Socialist Party (PS) had earned just under 29%.
