PORTUGAL-POLITICS-ELECTION-VOTE

Outgoing Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa speaks to the press after cast his ballot at a polling station in Benfica, Lisbon, during the legislative elections held on March 10, 2024 in Portugal. Voters in Portugal go to the polls today in an early election that could see the country join the shift to the right seen across Europe after eight years of Socialist rule. Final polls published on March 8, 2024 indicate the centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) is narrowly ahead of the Socialist Party (PS) but short of an outright majority in parliament, and that far-right party Chega could be the kingmaker. Nevertheless, results remain wide open due to the large number of undecided voters. (Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA / AFP) (Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA/AFP via Getty Images)
