Portugal opposition centre-right party wins election: official results

Lisbon (AFP): Portugal’s main centre-right party narrowly defeated the incumbent Socialists in an early general election but fell well short of a majority, near-complete official results showed early Monday.

With just four seats left to assign in Portugal’s 230-seat parliament, the Democratic Alliance had won 29.49 percent of the vote in Sunday’s poll, against 28.66 percent for the Socialists, in power since 2015.
