LISBON, May 18 (Xinhua) -- The center-right Democratic Alliance, led by incumbent Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, won the most seats in Portugal's parliamentary elections Sunday, according to exit polls.

However, the alliance fell short of the 116 seats needed for a majority, leaving it unable to form a government on its own.
