  • Luís Montenegro was re-elected Prime Minister of Portugal following the 18 May 2025 elections in mainland Portugal and the Azores.
  • The election occurred after the Aliança Democrática coalition, including PSD, CDS-PP, and PPM, increased its number of deputies while the Partido Socialista lost support and deputies.
  • Aliança Democrática won 86 mainland deputies plus three in the Azores, while Partido Socialista dropped from 77 to 58 deputies as CHEGA! rose to match PS’s number of seats.
  • Voter turnout was 64.38% with 5,965,332 votes counted out of 9,265,493 registered voters, and smaller left-wing parties such as Bloco de Esquerda fell significantly in representation.
