| Description | LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal's opposition Socialists won clear control of parliament in Sunday elections, ousting the prime minister after only seven months in power, according to exit polls.
The Socialists led by former environment minister Jose Socrates polled 46.9 percent to 50.7 percent of the vote, according to a poll for SIC television.
The results give them the absolute majority needed to implement their platform to boost the lagging economy in western Europe's poorest country. |
