- SP Parliamentary Election News
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez boosted his support during the final days of the election campaign to deny his right-wing opponents a majority in parliament. While the center-right People’s Party won the most seats, with 136, the right-wing bloc got only 170 in total, with 96% of the ballots counted. Sanchez’s Socialists returned 122 deputies and, with a wider range of potential partners, could potentially muster 172 votes. That result leaves neither one of the main parties able to reach the 176 votes needed for an outright ...
Spain was voting Sunday in a closely-watched snap election expected to oust the left and bring in the right-wing Popular Party, which will likely need support from the far right to govern. The mid-summer vote was taking place just three weeks after Spain took over the rotating presidency of the European Union with the expected shift to the right likely to deal a fresh blow to the European left. By 6:00 pm, with two hours until the close, turnout stood at 53.12 percent, nearly 4.0 percentage points lower than the previous 2019 ...
Spain voters are heading to the polls on Sunday in an election that could bring the far right to power for the first time since Francisco Franco’s dictatorship. Polls published ahead of the vote projected a conservative win, with the PP (Partido Popular) set to secure about 34% of support — which would not be sufficient to form a majority government. Some political analysts expect PP to join forces with the far right party Vox, which could be the third biggest political force in this election and obtain more than 10% of the votes. ...
Millions of Spaniards go to the polls on Sunday to cast their ballots in an early general election called by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Despite substantial losses in recent regional elections, Gallup data show that Sanchez – who leads Spain’s first coalition government as head of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) -- has been a more popular figure throughout his four-year term than his predecessor, Mariano Rajoy. However, the majority of Spaniards continue to disapprove of Sanchez’s job performance. Sanchez’s approval has ...
Spain’s Socialists are set to win the greatest number of seats in Sunday’s general election, but the fragmented results point to weeks of torturous negotiations for party leader Pedro Sanchez if he is to form a government. With 74% of the vote counted, the Socialists are projected to win 122 seats, one less than in the previous vote in April, while the main opposition People’s Party jumps to 84 seats. The Spanish nationalist party Vox more than doubles its representation to 53 seats. That leaves Sanchez, the acting premier, in pole ...
The governing Socialist Party in Spain looks set to win the most seats in the general election, but fall short of a majority with almost all results in. With more than 85% of the votes counted, the opposition conservative Popular Party follows in second place, and the far-right Vox party appears to have heavily increased its vote share. Right-wing parties have the most votes combined, though no majority. Spain has not had a stable government since 2015. This was the country's fourth election in as many years. Voter turnout at 18:00 ...
Spain’s governing center-left Socialists won the country’s election Sunday but must seek backing from smaller parties to maintain power, while a far-right party rode an unprecedented surge of support to enter the lower house of parliament for the first time in four decades. With 99% of ballots counted, the Socialists led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez won 29% of the vote, capturing 123 seats in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies. The new far-right Vox party made its national breakthrough by capturing 10% of the vote, which would give ...
Socialist Pedro Sanchez is set to hang on as prime minister by cobbling together a left-leaning government coalition and he may not even need any votes from Catalan separatists, early returns in the Spanish general election suggested. With 43 percent of the vote counted, the Socialists are on track to win 129 seats, up from 85 in 2016. Its left-wing ally Podemos has another 40 seats while the Basque Nationalists, another group close to Sanchez, has six. That would give Sanchez 175 seats, just shy of the 176 he needs for a majority. ...
