Portuguese Prime Minister Costa wins election, exit polls show

Socialist Prime Minister Antonio Costa won Portugal’s parliamentary election on Sunday and may govern for a third term, two exit polls showed.

The Socialists garnered between 37% and 42% of the vote, ahead of the opposition center-right PSD party’s 30% to 35%, according to a poll by the Catholic University for broadcaster RTP. Costa’s party may get between 102 and 116 seats in parliament, the poll showed. The Socialists currently have 108 of a total of 230 seats, and an absolute majority requires at least 116.

An exit poll by television channel SIC also showed that Costa won.
