The election in Andalusia has shown what we can expect in the broader Spanish elections next year.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialists have had the worst electoral results in history in Andalusia, reflecting the endless corruption and sexual assault scandals involving the party.
The conservative People’s Party won the election in the Andalusia region again, but lost the majority, meaning they will need the backing of the right-wing Vox party in order to form a new governing coalition.
PP wins Andalusia regional election but loses absolute majority.
Juanma Moreno’s Partido Popular takes 53 seats (41.6%) in the 109-seat Parliament down 5 from 2022.

Politico reported:
“The PP is in opposition at the national level in Spain, and polling ahead of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist Party ahead of next year’s national vote.
With the PP well ahead in polls throughout the Andalusian campaign, the main question ahead of the election was whether Moreno would be able to secure his second consecutive majority in the region, the most populous in Spain. With 99.8 percent of votes counted, the PP is on track to secure 53 seats in the 109-seat parliament, a loss of five seats.”
Incoming election results today in the Andalusia region of Spain point to an overwhelming victory of the center-right (PP) and right (Vox) over the left, including Pedro Sanchez’s ruling Socialists and his communist allies. https://t.co/ms40Wxi9Yk

“Looking leftward, Sánchez’s party also had a bad night, registering its worst-ever result in Andalusia, which used to be its biggest electoral stronghold. It won 28 seats, down from 30 four years ago, with parties to its left performing well.
In third place, Vox gained one seat to secure 15 in total, and is seen as the only possible governing partner of the PP. Turnout was 65 percent.”

Euronews reported:
“The Socialists won just 28 seats in the 109-seat regional parliament, down two from four years ago, in Sunday’s vote, according to results with 99.9% of ballots counted.
After resounding defeats for the left in three previous regional elections, the debacle in Andalusia will be particularly painful for Sánchez, whose candidate is his former deputy and ex-finance minister María Jesús Montero.
The defeat follows recent losses for the Socialists in Extremadura, Aragon and Castile, and Leon regions, increasing pressure on Sánchez before a general election expected in 2027.”
