Portugal: First estimates point to a tie between Socialists and centre-right
In Portugal, the Socialist Party (PS, S&D) and the centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD, EPP) are currently tied, with the Socialists projected to have 28-34% of the vote and AD, Portugal’s ruling coalition, achieving between 28% and 33%. Based on this, each will be able to send seven or eight MEPs to Brussels.
Chega (ID) and the liberal initiative (IL, RE) come right behind and are also tied, with between 8% and 12% of votes, which would equate to two or three MEPs.
The left block (BE, The Left) Livre (Greens/EFA) and CDU (The Left-Greens/EFA) got between 3% and 5%, with the possibility of electing one MEP.
