President of the centre-right Social-Democratic Party Partido Social Democrata (PSD) since May 2022, Luis Montenegro holds his final rally ahead of the March 10 general election. The 51-year-old led its parliamentary group when it was in power from 2011 to 2015 and imposed severe austerity measures. Despite the far right's potential for depriving the PSD of a parliamentary majority, Luis Montenegro has insisted he will not accept entering into a coalition with Chega. IMAGES
The populist leader of the far-right Chega party, André Ventura, holds his last electoral rally in Lisbon before elections on March 10. As campaigning wraps up, polls are pointing to an edge for the centre-right after eight years of Socialist rule, and huge gains for the far-right. The Chega party is tipped to more than double the support it won in a 2022 election, putting its leader Ventura in line to become kingmaker in a new parliament. IMAGES
