Background

The Democratic Alliance (AD), then composed by the Social Democratic Party (PSD), the CDS – People's Party (CDS–PP) and the People's Monarchist Party (PPM), and led by PSD leader Luís Montenegro, won the 2024 legislative election by a very narrow margin, winning almost 29 percent of the votes and 80 seats in the 230 seat Assembly of the Republic. The Socialist Party (PS), in power between 2015 and 2024 and led by Pedro Nuno Santos, elected in the aftermath of the resignation of then Prime Minister António Costa due to an investigation around alleged corruption involving the award of contracts for lithium and hydrogen businesses,{{Cite web |title=António Costa demite-se: "Obviamente" |url=https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/antonio-costa/governo/antonio-costa-apresenta-a-demissao/20231107/654a3b7fd34e65afa2f7496e |access-date=7 November 2023 |website=CNN Portugal |language=pt |archive-date=12 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231112104825/https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/antonio-costa/governo/antonio-costa-apresenta-a-demissao/20231107/654a3b7fd34e65afa2f7496e |url-status=live }} saw a significant decrease in support, winning only 28 percent of the vote and 78 seats. The populist and far-right party Chega (CH) surged in the elections, gathering 18 percent of the votes and 50 seats in Parliament, becoming kingmaker with the best result for a third party in decades.{{Cite web |title=Chega é um dos grandes vencedores destas eleições |url=https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/politica/chega-e-um-dos-grandes-vencedores-destas-eleicoes_v1556990 |access-date=2024-03-28|date=2024-03-11 |website=RTP}} The Liberal Initiative (IL) was able to hold on to its eight seats and gather five percent of the vote. The left-wing/far-left parties, the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) and the Left Bloc (BE), achieved, again, disappointing results, with BE holding on to its five seats and four percent of the votes, while the Communists' alliance got its worst result ever with just three percent of the votes and four seats. LIVRE nearly surpassed PCP by gathering also three percent of the votes and four seats. People Animals Nature (PAN) was able to win just one seat.{{Cite web |title=Diário da República, 1.ª série, n.º 59-A/2024 |url=https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/diario-republica/59-a-2024-857147314 |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=diariodarepublica.pt}}

Eleven days after election day, on 21 March 2024, Luis Montenegro was asked by President of the Republic Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa to form a government, a minority one in this case.{{Cite web |date=21 March 2024 |title=Portugal's centre-right leader Luis Montenegro appointed prime minister |url=https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240321-portugal-s-centre-right-leader-luis-montenegro-appointed-prime-minister |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240321051332/https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240321-portugal-s-centre-right-leader-luis-montenegro-appointed-prime-minister |archive-date=21 March 2024 |access-date=21 March 2024 |website=France 24 |language=en}} The new government was sworn into office on 2 April 2024.

With the lack of a workable majority, the AD minority government was forced to negotiate with opposition parties to pass major legislation and this created problems regarding the prospects of a budget for 2025.{{Cite web |date=29 September 2024 |title=Marcelo aumenta pressão: "Um Governo que está pendurado por um fio fraco, que é uma maioria fraca, sem orçamento fica pendurado por linhas" |url=https://observador.pt/2024/09/29/marcelo-aumenta-pressao-um-governo-que-esta-pendurado-por-um-fio-fraco-que-e-uma-maioria-fraca-sem-orcamento-fica-pendurado-por-linhas/ |access-date=30 September 2024 |website=Observador |language=pt}} The Government decided to negotiate with the Socialist Party (PS),{{Cite web |date=11 September 2024 |title=Governo e PS tentam aproximar posições sobre o Orçamento do Estado para 2025 |url=https://eco.sapo.pt/2024/09/11/governo-e-ps-tentam-aproximar-posicoes-sobre-o-orcamento-do-estado-para-2025/ |access-date=30 September 2024 |website=ECO |language=pt}} however, the odds of a positive outcome from these negotiations were slim as the PS rejected the corporate tax cuts and the proposed "Youth IRS" scheme, which would provide an income tax rate cut for young people under the age of 35, and accused the government of not giving in.{{Cite web |date=27 September 2024 |title=PS só viabiliza Orçamento para 2025 sem IRS Jovem e IRC do Governo |url=https://pt.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/09/27/ps-so-viabiliza-orcamento-para-2025-sem-irs-jovem-e-irc-do-governo |access-date=30 September 2024 |website=Euronews |language=pt}} President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa warned that a lack of a deal could lead to snap legislative elections,{{Cite web |date=19 September 2024 |title=Marcelo deve avançar para eleições antecipadas se Orçamento do Estado for chumbado |url=https://sicnoticias.pt/especiais/orcamento-do-estado/2024-09-19-marcelo-deve-avancar-para-eleicoes-antecipadas-se-orcamento-do-estado-for-chumbado-84a2fd37 |access-date=30 September 2024 |website=SIC Notícias |language=pt}} and admitted he was putting pressure on both the major parties to reach a deal.{{Cite web |date=30 September 2024 |title="Estou a fazer pressão".

On 3 October 2024, Luís Montenegro "dropped" several parts of his government's Youth IRS scheme and corporate tax cuts by bringing his new proposals closer to policies defended by the PS, calling it an "irrefutable proposal" for the Socialists.{{Cite web |date=3 October 2024 |title=A "proposta irrecusável" de Montenegro: IRC com recuo de 1%, IRS Jovem custa 645 milhões de euros |url=https://www.tsf.pt/4141384549/a-proposta-irrecusavel-de-montenegro-irc-com-recuo-de-1-irs-jovem-com-custo-de-645-milhoes-de-euros/ |access-date=9 October 2024 |website=TSF |language=pt}} Pedro Nuno Santos recognized the concessions made by the government, but pressed for more conditions on corporate tax cuts, mainly on their timing.{{Cite web |date=4 October 2024 |title=OE2025: Pedro Nuno Santos reforça que "estamos a caminho da solução do impasse", tendo já entregue contraproposta ao Governo|url=https://24.sapo.pt/atualidade/artigos/oe2025-pedro-nuno-santos-fala-sobre-contraproposta-ao-governo |access-date=9 October 2024 |website=Sapo |language=pt}} The Prime Minister rejected these last conditions made by the PS, but said he was "confident" in the budget being approved by Parliament.{{Cite web |date=8 October 2024 |title=A grande entrevista de Luís Montenegro à SIC, nas vésperas da entrega do Orçamento do Estado|url=https://sicnoticias.pt/especiais/orcamento-do-estado/2024-10-08-a-grande-entrevista-de-luis-montenegro-a-sic-nas-vesperas-da-entrega-do-orcamento-do-estado-30b2e9c2 |access-date=9 October 2024 |website=SIC Notícias |language=pt}}

On 17 October 2024, the general-secretary of the PS, Pedro Nuno Santos, announced that the Socialist Party would abstain in the budget vote, thus ensuring the approval of the document with the sole votes of the AD coalition.{{Cite web |date=17 October 2024 |title=OE2025: a declaração de Pedro Nuno Santos |url=https://sicnoticias.pt/especiais/orcamento-do-estado/2024-10-17-video-oe2025-a-declaracao-de-pedro-nuno-santos-b033ceec |access-date=17 October 2024 |website=SIC Notícias |language=pt}} On 31 October, Parliament passed the budget in its first general reading by an 80–72 vote, with the 78 PS members abstaining.

= Date =

According to the Portuguese Constitution, an election must be called between 14 September and 14 October of the year that the legislature ends. The election is called by the President of Portugal but is not called at the request of the Prime Minister; however, the President must listen to all of the parties represented in Parliament and the election day must be announced at least 60 days before the election.{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=http://app.parlamento.pt/site_antigo/ingles/cons_leg/Constitution_VII_revisao_definitive.pdf |access-date=2024-03-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141022091934/http://app.parlamento.pt/site_antigo/ingles/cons_leg/Constitution_VII_revisao_definitive.pdf |archive-date=22 October 2014 }} If an election is called during an ongoing legislature (dissolution of parliament) it must be held at least after 55 days. Election day is the same in all multi-seats constituencies, and should fall on a Sunday or national holiday. In normal circumstances, the next legislative election would, therefore, have taken place no later than 8 October 2028,{{Cite web |title=Electoral law to the Assembly of the Republic |url=http://www.cne.pt/sites/default/files/dl/legis_lear_2015_0.pdf}} but it was called early for 18 May 2025.

The President of Portugal has the power to dissolve the Assembly of the Republic by his/her own will. Unlike in other countries, the President can refuse to dissolve the parliament at the request of the Prime Minister or the Assembly of the Republic and all the parties represented in Parliament. If the Prime Minister resigns, the President can appoint a new Prime Minister after listening to all the parties represented in Parliament and then the government programme must be subject to discussion by the Assembly of the Republic, whose members of parliament may present a motion to reject the upcoming government, or dissolve Parliament and call new elections.

= Electoral system =

The Assembly of the Republic has 230 members elected to four-year terms. In votes on the Government’s Programme or a motion of no confidence, only “no” votes are tallied and the measure is rejected—and the government forced out—only if at least 116 deputies vote “no,” so a government may remain in office without an absolute majority of “yes” votes: even if “no” votes outnumber “yes” votes, unless they hit 116 the programme carries and the government survives.{{Cite web |title=Constitution of the Portuguese Republic |url=http://www.en.parlamento.pt/Legislation/CRP/Constitution7th.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303222446/http://www.en.parlamento.pt/Legislation/CRP/Constitution7th.pdf |archive-date=3 March 2016 }}

The number of seats assigned to each constituency, a total of 22, depends on the district magnitude.{{Cite web |title=Effective threshold in electoral systems |url=http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php |access-date=2015-10-21 |website=Trinity College, Dublin}} The use of the d'Hondt method makes for a higher effective threshold than certain other allocation methods such as the Hare quota or Sainte-Laguë method, which are more generous to small parties.{{Cite web |last=Gallagher |first=Michael |date=1992 |title=Comparing Proportional Representation Electoral Systems: Quotas, Thresholds, Paradoxes and Majorities |url=https://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/BJPS1992.pdf}}
