"Portugal Election: Centre-Right Leads Amid Far-Right Surge"
Exit polls indicate Portugal's centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) is leading in the parliamentary election but may fall short of a majority, with the possibility of far-right party Chega helping to form a coalition. The incumbent Socialists are also in contention, and the election has been dominated by issues such as housing, low wages, healthcare, and corruption. The potential inclusion of Chega in a governing alliance with right-leaning parties remains uncertain due to its controversial proposals and stance on national sovereignty.
