The rise of the far-right Chega ("Enough") party was even more apparent in Luxembourg than in Portugal. The right-wing extremists emerged as the leading political force in the Grand Duchy, securing 19.61% of the vote.

In Portugal, the legislative elections marked the end of eight years of rule by the Socialist Party (PS), with the far-right quadrupling its seats. Portuguese nationals residing in Luxembourg clearly favoured Chega, propelling the far-right party to first place with 19.61% of the vote, ahead of AD (14.27%), a centre-right political alliance between the Social Democratic Party (PSD), the CDS – People's Party (CDS–PP), as well as the People's Monarchist Party (PPM). The PS came third with 12.97% of the vote.

Out of 36,876 registered Portuguese nationals eligible to vote in Luxembourg, 13,649 cast their ballots, constituting a voter turnout of 37.01%.

Looking at the overall results, the far-right Chega party solidified its position as the country's third major political force, boosting its parliamentary representation from 12 to 50 seats, securing an 18.1% vote share.

Chega's president, André Ventura, expressed his intent on Monday to seek collaboration with the moderate right to establish a stable majority, without necessarily entering the government, while threatening to oppose it if such negotiations were rebuffed.

However, Luís Montenegro, named Portugal's new Prime Minister by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, reiterated his stance after his election victory, affirming his refusal to govern with far-right support, a position upheld throughout his campaign.
