The center-right Popular Party (PP) won the elections of the Autonomous Community of Madrid on Tuesday with 65 seats and 43.7 percent of the votes, more than doubling the seats it won in the 2019 elections.
Falling short of an absolute majority, the PP's candidate and Madrid's Regional President Isabel Diaz Ayuso will be able to form a government with the help of other parties, with the far-right VOX seen as a most likely partner.
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party from the center left led by candidate Angel Gabilondo won 24 seats and 18.4 percent of the votes, a loss of 13 seats compared to 2019, while the leftist Mas Madrid with candidate Monica Garcia managed to add four more seats, moving from 20 to 24 seats.
The turnout was a historic 80 percent, 16 points above the 2019 elections.
Isabel Diaz Ayuso, president of the Autonomous Community of Madrid since 2019, dismissed on March 10 the six advisers of the Citizens Party in her government, ordered the dissolution of the Madrid Assembly and called elections for May 4 with the objective of stopping the threat of being evicted from power.
