Overview
- Official results give the conservative PP 43% of the vote and 29 of 65 seats, leaving it short of an absolute majority.
- Vox doubles its representation to 11 seats with about 17% of the vote, positioning the party as kingmaker in the regional assembly.
- PSOE tumbles to roughly 25–26% and 18 seats, a steep drop in a region it governed for decades until 2023.
- PP will need a governing agreement with Vox to form an administration in the largely rural region of about one million residents.
- The vote followed judicial blows to the Socialists, including ex-minister José Luis Ábalos in pretrial detention with prosecutors seeking 24 years and a May 2026 trial set for David Sánchez on influence-peddling charges.
