All 230 seats to the Assembly of the Republic were up for election. The elections were called in November 2023 after Prime Minister AntÃ³nio Costa’s resignation following an investigation around alleged corruption involving the award of contracts for lithium and hydrogen businesses.No party achieved an absolute majority of seats, with the centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD) led by LuÃs Montenegro winning 80 seats, closely followed by the Socialist Party (PS), which lost the absolute majority it had gained in the 2022 elections, and was reduced to 78 seats. The election also saw the surge of the right-wing populist Chega party as the third-largest party in parliament, more than quadrupling its previous seat count to 50 seats. Turnout in the election was at 59.9 percent, the highest since 2005, and in Portugal alone, turnout rose to 66.2%, the highest rate since 1995.The leader of the largest party, Luis Montenegro, would go on to form a centre-right minority government ending nearly a decade of rule by the Socialist Party.

Background

The Socialist Party (PS), led by Prime Minister AntÃ³nio Costa, won an absolute majority in the 2022 legislative election with 41 percent of the votes and 120 seats in the 230 seat Assembly of the Republic. The main opposition party, the Social Democratic Party (PSD), got 77 seats and 29 percent of the votes, while the populist party Chega (Enough) gained 12 seats and seven percent. The Liberal Initiative (IL) were able to win eight seats and gather almost five percent of the votes. The left-wing/far-left parties, the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) and the Left Bloc (BE), achieved one of their worst results ever with four percent of the votes and six and five seats, respectively. PAN and LIVRE were able to win just one seat each.AntÃ³nio Costa’s third government was sworn in on 30 March 2022. This government was unstable and experienced several scandals and controversies. By mid-2023, the government had seen the resignations of 11 Secretaries of state and two Ministers.“Terceiro Governo de Costa jÃ¡ teve 13 baixas em apenas 16 meses” {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230708173052eco.sapo.pt/2023/07/07/as-13-demissoes-no-governo-em-16-meses/ |date=8 July 2023 }}, ECO, 7 July 2023.
