Portugal's ruling centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) took an early lead in Sunday's parliamentary election, garnering over 38% of the vote with more than 10% of the ballots counted, official electoral data showed.

The incumbent center-right Democratic Alliance won a general election in Portugal on Sunday, but it failed to secure a majority in Parliament and was set to take office as a minority government for the second time in a year.

The final results showed the AD coalition won with 32% of the vote, followed by the Socialist Party at 23%. The far-right Chega party comes in third with 22.56%. View on euronews
