The center-right government loses the vote and falls after a scandal of alleged corruption involving the Prime Minister, who is under investigation by the Prosecutor's Office. Portugal will almost certainly have its third elections in three years after the Government lost the vote of confidence presented to Parliament on Tuesday,

Portuguese voters are becoming increasingly frustrated with the country's political elites as another snap election looms - without any signs that it will bring stability.

Portugal’s Parliament ousted the center-right government in a vote of no confidence on Tuesday, forcing the third national election in little more than three years.

Portugal's president on Thursday announced a snap legislative vote for May 18 -- the third national election in barely three years -- after Prime Minister Luis Montenegro resigned over a conflict of interest dispute.
