Andalusia Vote Nears With PP Favored to Keep Majority

The result could show whether Spain’s conservatives can avoid deals with the far right.

Overview

  • Andalusia chooses a new regional parliament on Sunday in Spain’s most populous region.
  • Polling points to the conservative Partido Popular close to an outright majority in the 109-seat chamber.
  • Socialists risk a worst-ever finish in the region as Pedro Sánchez’s party tries to limit losses.
  • PP leader Juanma Moreno seeks to renew sole control to govern without the far-right Vox party.
  • The outcome will steer national politics by signaling a moderate course for the PP under Moreno or greater leverage for harder-line forces after recent PP-Vox coalitions elsewhere.
