Portugal’s president has convened political parties for consultations after a general election delivered another minority government.

Though Portugal's minority government won the recent snap election, the far-right Chega party's meteoric rise has made real waves. Now the country's centrist parties are under pressure to work better together.

Near complete official results yesterday showed Montenegro’s center-right Democratic Alliance (AD) had boosted its tally in the 230-seat parliament to 89 in Sunday’s poll, short of the 116 seats required for a ruling majority.

Sunday's vote delivered another minority government for the center-right party. The significant rise in support for the hard-right populist party adds uncertainty.

The extremist Chega party obtained as many MPs as the Socialist Party, but is expected to surpass it once the overseas votes are counted. The conservative Luis Montenegro is expected to remain prime minister.

In the decades after Portugal’s Carnation Revolution, many considered the country immunized from the far right. This has been challenged by the rise of Chega, the anti-immigrant party that won almost a quarter of the vote in Sunday’s election.
