Following Prime Minister Luis Montenegro's failed confidence vote, elections were called just one year into his term. The Democratic Alliance (AD) is expected to win but without a clear majority, with the Socialist Party trailing in polls. Critical issues like housing and immigration dominate the election conversation, reflecting a decade of fragile governance in Portugal, characterized by deadlocked parliaments and a lack of clear mandates.
