Portugal’s ruling Socialist Party has won an unexpected outright majority in Sunday’s snap general election for only the second time in its history.
The election was called when Portugal’s Prime Minister António Costa failed to pass a budget after losing the support of two smaller parties.
Mr Costa said Portugal needed stability to ensure economic recovery.
Far-right party Chega also increased its support and will be the third largest party in parliament.
The result comes as a surprise after polls suggested the Socialist Party had lost most of its advantage in the run up to the vote.
In his victory speech, the prime minister promised he would govern for everyone.
