The president and candidate for re-election of the PP, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, would win the elections again, equaling or slightly improving his results, but would fall far short of an absolute majority and would not be able to govern alone as he intended. According to various exit polls, the Castilian-Leonese leader, who is heading the popular party's list for the third time, would obtain between 30 and 32 seats, more or less like four years ago, when he achieved 31.

The right wing will continue to govern in Castile and León, where it has held uninterrupted power since 1987, when José María Aznar, before taking office, ousted the PSOE and inaugurated four decades of conservative hegemony in this region. The president and PP candidate for re-election, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, has won the elections again and improved on the 2022 results, but falls short of an absolute majority and will not be able to govern alone as he had intended. The Castilian-Leonese leader, who is heading the People's Party list for the third time, obtained 33 seats, two more than four years ago, when he won 31, with a 65.2% voter turnout. Mañueco, who has already been in office for seven years, has not been negatively impacted by his handling of the summer wildfires in Castile and León, which led to political questioning and... the Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation against himThe president of Castile and León manages to curb the rise of Vox and consolidates his position as one of the major players. barons Populars. "Given the noise, the bleak outlook other parties saw, our region has chosen certainty and overwhelmingly supported the Popular Party's project," an elated Mañueco emphasized, highlighting the gap with the other two major parties. "We have tripled the gap we had with the Socialist Party and doubled Vox's votes," he proclaimed. The PP is not hiding its joy at the results and points out that it is "the party that has increased the most in percentage of votes." In this regard, they believe that Vox's decision to "block a center-right government in Extremadura has hurt them" because in the trackings Within the PP, Vox reached around 25% of the vote. However, the good results obtained by Mañueco are not enough to reach the 42 seats needed for an absolute majority in a chamber that, this time, has 82 representatives because it gained one in Segovia. The PP president will once again depend on Vox, which only managed to add one more deputy to the thirteen it already held, thus halting the growth of the far-right party in the other regional elections held in recent months. These are poor results for Santiago Abascal's party, which until now had grown significantly in each election. In any case, Abascal emphasized that this is "the third time in just a few months that Vox has grown in an election." Mañueco, therefore, will have to come to terms with Vox. It is certainly true that, unlike in Extremadura, where the popular María Guardiola has placed many obstacles in the way of an agreement with Vox to the point that elections could be repeated, the Popular Party president has extended a hand and will now do so with an undeniable victory.

The PSOE has redefined its electoral strategy, turning the cabinet into its main pool of regional candidates. From Pilar Alegría, former Minister of Education and former spokesperson for the Spanish government, in Aragon, to María Jesús Montero, Vice President of the government, in Andalusia, and including Diana Morant, Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, in the Valencian Community, and Óscar López, Minister for Digital Transformation and the "ministerial function," this is the recipe for trying to shake up the political landscape.
