This is the third time that both the CDU and the BE have failed to be present in the parliament of Madeira.

According to the official provisional results from the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Internal Administration, the CDU obtained 1.63% of the votes (2,217) and was the eighth most voted political force out of 14 that competed.

The BE followed, with 1.41% and 1,912 votes.

The CDU has been running in the regional legislative elections since 1976 and has not managed to elect deputies in that year, in 1988 and now.

In the last elections, in September 2023, it had elected one.

On the other hand, the BE, which has been running since 2004, was left without a representative in the Madeiran parliament in 2011 and in 2019.

With the departure of these two forces, the Legislative Assembly of Madeira is left with representatives from seven political parties: PSD, PS, JPP, Chega, CDS-PP, IL and PAN.

Today's elections were won by the PSD, which obtained 36.13% of the votes (49,103) and elected 19 deputies, having failed to reach the target of 24 to achieve an absolute majority.
