Overview
- Final results give the PP 29 seats with 43.2% of the vote, Vox 11 with 16.9%, the PSOE 18 with 25.7%, and Unidas por Extremadura 7 in the 65-seat chamber.
- PP leader María Guardiola called early elections to govern without Vox but remains four seats short of an absolute majority and must rely on the far-right party.
- Vox more than doubled its seats from five to eleven, and party chief Santiago Abascal said its support must carry weight in government formation.
- The PSOE recorded its worst result in Extremadura, turnout fell to 62.7%, and the unified left list Unidas por Extremadura increased its representation from four to seven seats.
- Analysts link the setback to strain on Sánchez’s minority government as associates face corruption and misconduct probes, with further regional and municipal elections in 2026 likely to test whether the rightward shift broadens.
