Portugal's President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa meets with the Council of State, in Lisbon

LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal will hold a snap parliamentary election on March 10, its second in as many years, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said on Thursday, following Tuesday's abrupt resignation of the Socialist prime minister amid a corruption investigation.

Yet, the president said he would only disband parliament after the final vote on the 2024 budget bill, due on Nov. 29.
