Portugal’s ruling center-right Democratic Alliance (AD) won a snap parliamentary election on Sunday but again fell short of the majority needed to end a long period of instability as the far-right Chega gained a record share of the vote.

The hard-right Chega party surged in the snap election, securing its status as a powerful political contender.

The incumbent center-right Democratic Alliance won Portugal’s general election Sunday, official results showed, but it fell short of a majority in Parliament and was set to take office as a minority government.
