Portugal centre-right party wins snap election

Lisbon [Portugal], May 20: Portugal's incumbent Prime Minister and leader of the centre-right Social Democratic Party Luis Montenegro won the most seats in the country's third general election in three years on Sunday but again fell short of a parliamentary majority.
Near complete official results showed that Prime Minister Luis Montenegro's Democratic Alliance (AD) captured 32.7 percent of the vote in Sunday's poll with the Socialist Party (PS) and Chega virtually tied in second place.
That would boost the AD's seat tally in the 230-seat parliament to 89, short of the 116 seats required for a ruling majority.
The Socialists had 23.4 percent, trailed closely by Chega ("Enough") with 22.6 percent, which would give each party 58 seats.
