2015 Portuguese legislative election

The 2015 Portuguese legislative election was held to select the members of the National Assembly, Portugal's parliament. Voters chose representatives from multiple political parties, including the center-left Socialist Party (PS), the center-right Social Democratic Party (PSD), and others like the Communist and Left Bloc parties. The election resulted in a hung parliament, with no party winning an outright majority. The Socialist Party, led by António Costa, formed a coalition with smaller left-wing parties, enabling it to govern. The election reflected economic recovery hopes and differing visions for fiscal policy following austerity measures imposed during economic crises.
