This Sunday, citizens decide on the political future in 12 autonomous communities: the Autonomous Community of Madrid, the Autonomous Community of Valencia, Castile-La Mancha, Aragon, Navarra, Extremadura, Murcia, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Asturias, Cantabria and La rioja A total of 17,335,748 voters were called to vote to decide who runs politics in these areas. In some congregations, the autonomous presidency is decided by a handful of votes. In other cases, the winner has to wait for the conclusion of agreements to reach the government. These are the keys to the autonomies that are jeopardizing their political destiny for the next four years.
Madrid community
According to the preliminary results, Isabel Díaz Ayuso will win the elections in the Autonomous Community of Madrid. The Madrid PP boss would have the absolute majority with 50% of the votes counted. The first preliminary results give Ayuso 68 seats, enough not to be dependent on Vox. Socialist candidate Juan Lobato improves his party’s result four years ago, surpassing Más Madrid’s candidate Mónica García as a benchmark for the left. Lobato would get 29 MPs, five more than the Socialists in 2019. Vox would lose three and stay on 10 seats. And Más Madrid, the formation led by Mónica García, would improve by four MPs to 28 seats. Podemos would lose the ten seats it received in 2019.

One of the focal points of these regional elections of 28-m. The first preliminary results show a sharp increase in PP at the expense of Ciudadanos, which is suffering a severe setback. PP candidate Carlos Mazón would win the elections, taking nearly 40 seats, 21 more than in 2019, with 74% of the votes counted. Socialist candidate Ximo Puig is one step away from losing the government, despite improved results four years ago. Puig would get 32 seats in the regional parliament, five more. But the setback of Compromís, which loses three seats and stays at 19, and the debacle of Podemos, which loses eight MPs, make it difficult to repeat the Botánic Pact. According to previous polls, the PP would need Vox’s support to govern in any case. Vox would get 13 seats, so three more. Ciudadanos is disappearing after losing the 18 seats it won in 2019. The absolute majority is 50 seats.

Castile-La Mancha
Emiliano García-Page (PSOE) loses majority in Castile-La Mancha. The socialist candidate loses a seat and remains at 16 with more than 74% of the votes counted. A total of 1,553,573 people from La Mancha had the right to vote to elect the 33 political representatives in the Castile-La Mancha Chamber to decide on the political future of Castile-La Mancha to decide. The popular candidate Paco Núñez would improve the results of the PP in 2019, reaching 13 deputies, three more than four years ago. Vox’s entry into the four-seat parliament of Manchego would give voters the key by beating the 17-seat majority.

Navarre
UPN would win the elections in the Navarra Foral Community with 92% of the votes counted, but would not be able to govern. Socialist María Chivite would be the favorite to revive the government of Navarre. With the first preliminary results, the Socialists would get the same seats as in the previous election campaign: 10 seats in the regional chamber. EH Bildu would pull off the big surprise of the evening by winning nine MEPs on the preliminary count, two more. Vox would move into the regional parliament with two seats. Chivite won the Navarre presidency in 2019 thanks to the support of Geroa Bai and Podemos and the abstention of several EH Bildu MPs. On the right, the parties that competed under the Navarra Suma brand four years ago (UPN, PP and Ciudadanos) are shown separately. The absolute majority is in the 26 regional seats.

Aragon
In every election, the Spanish Ohio comes to the fore. The peculiarities of the three Aragonese provinces make this community one of the most observed by demoscopy experts. The PP would win the elections in this autonomy with a count of 92% of the vote. PP candidate Jorge Azcón would get 28 seats, 12 more than in 2019. The mainstream parties could govern with the support of Vox, which would get seven seats, four more than in the last elections. According to the preliminary results, the socialist Javier Lambán would lose the presidency if he won 23 seats, one fewer than four years ago when he came to power thanks to the support of the Aragonese Party (PAR) with the left of Podemos and the Chunta Aragonesista (CHA). Out of the 34 seats, an absolute majority would be decided.

Asturias
According to the first preliminary results, the socialist Adrián Barbón caresses the victory in the current elections. The Socialists would win 19 seats with more than 91% of the votes counted, down one from the previous election. Barbón won the Asturian presidency four years ago with a minority government supported by the IU and occasionally by Podemos and Ciudadanos. Popular contestant Diego Canga improves on results from five years ago. According to the preliminary results, the PP would reach 17 seats in the principality’s chamber, seven more than in 2019. The absolute majority will be decided from the 23 seats. According to the partial results, Vox would also improve to 4 seats, two more than in 2019.

Cantabria
Miguel Ángel Revilla, with a very serious gesture, recognized the bad night that his formation had behind him, slipping from the highest number of votes to third place in the last election. With almost 70% counting, the Regional Party of Cantabria (PRC) assumes that the absolute majority will go to the sum of PP and Vox with 14 and four seats respectively. “There was a preview from the generals and it passed us,” the former president said. Revilla has seven seats left in this election. The PSOE came second with nine MEPs, three more than in the previous vote.

The Rioja
The PP achieves an absolute majority with more than 50% of the vote, regaining the power it was robbed of four years ago. The Socialists will lose three seats for the time being and we cannot give them the sum with United again to the government. Vox enters this Parliament with two representatives. This time, it doesn’t appear that the recount will depend on a few votes, as was the case in 2019.

Extremadura
overthrow in Extremadura. With a nearly 50% count, the PSOE de Vara, the current president, and the PP have 28 seats. The entry of Vox with five representatives would give the population an advantage in the event of a legal pact. The Socialists would have to fall back on United We Can, which currently has four MPs.

Murcia
The Murcia region remains with more than 72% of the vote in the hands of the popular Fernando López Miras, who already has 21 seats, five more than in the last election. The PP will be able to govern with the support of, or an agreement with, Vox reaching nine MPs as the majority in this parliament is 23. United we can keep two MEPs and the Socialists lose five and remain on 12 seats. The left will continue in this community without governing as it has since 1995.

Canary Islands
On the islands, the Canarian coalition is close to the PSOE with 17 representatives, which has 19 seats with 42% of the votes counted. The majority in this Parliament is 31 MEPs. Nueva Canarias, with its two seats, could hold the key to the government. The sum of PP with 13 and Vox with three would not be enough.

Balearic Islands
In the Balearic Islands, where more than 80% of respondents were verified, a PP-Vox alliance will end the tripartite progressive government made up of PSOE, Més per Mallorca and Podemos. The most popular are between 16 and 25 seats. The far-right party is bursting with eight seats and changing the board in this municipality. The PSOE has lost two seats and its previous partners are not doing better to guarantee a new mandate in the islands.
