Exit polls suggest party led by prime minister António Costa could secure surprise outright majority
Portugal’s ruling Socialist party is on course to win the country’s snap general election and could even secure a surprise outright majority, according to three exit polls released on Sunday evening.
The Socialists, led by prime minister António Costa, are projected to win between 37% and 42.5% of the vote, taking between 100 and 118 seats in Portugal’s 230-seat parliament.
