PP Wins Andalusia but Falls Short of Majority, Putting Vox in Play

The result leaves Vox holding leverage over policy in Spain’s most populous region.

Overview

  • The People’s Party, which won Sunday’s Andalusia election with 53 of 109 seats, fell two short of a majority as the Socialists slid to 28 and Vox reached 15.
  • Incumbent Juanma Moreno says he will seek a single‑party minority government, has not begun formal talks with Vox, and plans to negotiate support on a case‑by‑case basis.
  • Vox is poised to push its “national priority” idea that would give Spaniards first access to public housing and benefits, while Moreno promotes an “Andalusian priority” focused on regional needs.
  • Turnout rose to about 65 percent, and the left‑wing Adelante Andalucía jumped to eight seats as the Por Andalucía alliance held five.
  • The setback deepens pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez ahead of the 2027 general election, and any PP‑Vox deal could steer regional policy on schools, healthcare and housing.
