The election in Spain has been described several times as the most polarized in the country’s history – and it was also expected to be even. When the polling stations close at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, the results indicate that the right is making strong progress.
Thus, the ruling social democratic PSOE and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez look set to lose power, and the PP’s party leader Alberto Nuñez-Feijoo get the first attempt to form a government.
But it is required that the Partido popular cooperates with the ultra-nationalist Vox, which appears to be falling sharply in the election, according to a polling station survey by the public service company RTVE.
According to the survey, the PP looks like it will get between 147 and 150 seats in the parliament and Vox looks like it will get between 24 and 31. The PSOE is estimated to get around 115 seats in the parliament, which has a total of 350 seats.
Voter turnout has decreased by nearly four percent compared to the election in November 2019, according to RTVE.
