Portugal's early parliamentary election, driven by issues like housing and immigration, reflects persistent political fragility. The ruling centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD), led by Luis Montenegro, is projected to secure the most votes, yet lacks a clear majority. This marks the third election in three years, prompted by a failed confidence vote against Montenegro due to opposition allegations regarding his consultancy. Despite voter dismissal of these critiques, the outcome suggests continued instability as opposition parties, including the Socialist Party and far-right Chega, closely trail the AD in popularity.
The election has been dominated by issues such as housing and immigration and follows a decade of fragile governments.
Supporting Montenegro's AD appears insufficient for governance stability, requiring coalition-building amid public fatigue over constant political change.
