The PP widens its lead over the Socialists with
90% of votes counted.
With 90% of the vote counted, the PP has now firmly
pulled into the lead with 136 seats.
The Socialists have 122 seats, while the leftwing
movement Sumar is at 31 seats.
Far-right party Vox has 33 seats.
The results so far suggest that the PP and Vox together
would have 169 seats – meaning they would need to secure a handful of votes
from other parties in order to secure a majority in the 350-seat parliament. It
is a tall order, given that most regional parties have expressed hesitation
over deals that would ease Vox’s path to power.
The Socialists and Sumar would have 153 seats
together, meaning they could potentially try to strike deals with smaller
regional parties in order to govern. But doing so would require weeks – if not
months – of fraught negotiations, meaning Spain risks heading into new
elections.
With 10% or so of votes left to count, the results
could still see an increase or decrease by a handful of seats.
