Portugal's centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) won the general election, but it is unclear if they can govern without the support from far-right Chega. Chega's parliamentary representation quadrupled, giving the combined right a majority. The AD's leader, Luis Montenegro, vowed to cut taxes to boost growth. Pedro Nuno Santos, leader of the left-leaning Socialist Party (PS), conceded defeat and ruled out supporting the AD's platform.
