The leader of Portugal's centre-left Socialist Party (PS), Pedro Nuno Santos, conceded defeat in Sunday's closely contested parliamentary election and congratulated the centre-right Democratic Alliance on its victory despite a very tight margin.
The PS, in power since late 2015, had trailed the Democratic Alliance in most opinion polls since Socialist Prime Minister Antonio Costa resigned in November amid a corruption investigation.
