Europe elections live – latest updates
The centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD), led by Portugal’s caretaker prime minister, Luís Montenegro, looks set to win the country’s third snap election in three years but to again fall well short of a majority, while the far-right Chega party could take a record 20% of the vote.
Three polls, published at 8pm local time by the three main television channels – SIC, RTP and TVI – put the AD on between 29% and 35.1%, with the Socialist party (PS) and Chega vying for second place on 19.4% to 26% and 19.5% to 25.5%, respectively.
