Portugal’s new prime minister promises to bring stability after narrow win

Luis Montenegro must now try to form government but has vowed not to do any deal with far-right Chega party

Portugal's new prime minister, Luis Montenegro, has promised stable government after the country's president invited him to try to form a minority administration that could face a rough ride in a hung parliament.

Montenegro, 51, was named prime minister early on Thursday after a long-awaited count of overseas votes confirmed a narrow victory in 10 March elections for his centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD).
