Chega (European Portuguese: [ˈ(t)ʃe.ɣɐ]; officially stylised as CHEGA!, lit. 'Enough!', often truncated to CH in visual media) is a national conservative and right-wing populist political party in Portugal, formed in 2019 by André Ventura. It is on the far-right of the political spectrum.
Chega won one seat in the Assembly of the Republic in the 2019 election. Since this election, the party has rapidly grown in popularity, gaining significant support for its anti-establishment positions. It was the third most voted party in the elections of 2022 taking 12 seats. It saw a surge in support in the 2024 winning 50 seats, more than quadrupling its previous seat count. It improved its position further in the 2025 election, winning 60 seats and overtaking the Socialist Party's tally to achieve second place.
