Portugal's centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) appears set to narrowly win today's parliamentary elections, but appears far from securing an outright parliamentary majority, according to three exit polls. According to the polls AD moves between 27.6%-33%, just ahead of the ruling Socialist Party (PS) which gathers percentages between 24.2% and 29.5%. Polls by the three largest Portuguese television networks SIC, RTP and TVI show that all right-wing parties combined, including the far-right Chega, are likely to secure an absolute majority together. Chega is hovering between 14%-21.6%, a huge percentage jump from the 7.2% it recorded in the last election in January 2022. However, AD has so far ruled out any cooperation with Chega. After eight years of socialist governments, the Iberian country's parliament appears to be shifting to the right with a new push from populists, according to exit polls.
