Portugal’s third general election in three years has failed to deliver the result that could break the worst spell of political instability for decades in the European Union country of 10.6 million people.

Portugal’s ruling center-right Democratic Alliance (AD) won a snap parliamentary election on Sunday but again fell short of the majority needed to end a long period of instability as the far-right Chega gained a record share of the vote.

The final results showed the AD coalition won with 32% of the vote, followed by the Socialist Party at 23%. The far-right Chega party comes in third with 22.56%. View on euronews
