2029 Portuguese legislative election (The Next Future)

The 2029 Portuguese legislative election was held in October 6, 2029, when all 230 seats of the Parliament were up for grabs.

There were no major changes in Leadership since 2025. The Left Wing Government (headed by the Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Nuno Santos, with the support of the Left Bloc and the Communist Party) stood for re-election in separate lists. Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party had major gains in that year European Elections and Local Elections. That helped strenghtening the image of Paulo Cunha for the 2029 elections.

The PSD improved his result by 6 MP's, while the PS lost 18 seats (the most any party had lost since the Portugal Ahead Coligation in 2015), but the other Parties of the government earned more 5 and 2 MP's (for the BE and the PCP respectivelly). CHEGA got more 4 MP's, back to the results of 2023, while the Liberal Initiative (IL) got 10 MP's, the best result for the party since it's founding. The CDS-PP kept the same 5 MP's they had since 2019 and the PAN lost 1 MP in Setúbal.

The PSD won the election by a small margin of 1.1% to the PS. The Right wing parties (PSD, CH, IL and CDS-PP) got together a narrow majority of 116 MP's, while the left (PS, BE and PCP) only got 111 seats.

At the end, Paulo Cunha became Prime Minister, in a coalition government with the CDS-PP and with the parliamentary support of the IL and the CHEGA!.
