The main question now is who Prime Minister Antonio Costa will pick as allies to stay in power after ruling for the past four years with support from the two hard-left parties – the Left Bloc and the Communists.
Left Bloc leader Catarina Martins said she was ready to negotiate with Costa either a full pact for the whole legislature or on a case-by-case basis, but added that “our commitments are to defend those who work, to save the national health service and recover public investment.” The range of percentages of votes given by the pollsters was quite wide. Depending on how close the outcome eventually is, a clear picture could emerge quickly or take days or even weeks.
The four exit polls put the Socialists in a range of 33.3 per cent to 40 per cent. While it was not immediately clear if even the most optimistic scenario could deliver a full majority, it would in any case give them more seats than in the last election, in 2015.“We got stronger from this election and we will be able to continue with our policies,” said 25-year-old supporter Miguel Matos.
