Galician Municipal Elections 2022: A Coruña, Ferrol, Lugo, Ourense, Santiago, and Vigo in Spotlight

A Coruña, Ferrol, Lugo, Ourense and Santiago are the places where all eyes will be fixed during the scrutiny. It is expected that there will be no changes in Pontevedra and Vigo

The 313 Galician municipalities go to the polls today to vote for their mayor, as well as the more than 8,000 municipalities in the rest of Spain. In this electoral “super Sunday” there are twelve autonomies (all except Galicia, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Catalonia and Euskadi) and two autonomous cities that will also vote for their regional government. In addition, these elections will inevitably be read in a national key and will serve as a preamble or first assault for the next general elections, in which Feijóo and Pedro Sánchez will compete for the government of Spain.

In Fifteen thousand y Thirty-six from 7:00 p.m. and beginning with the publication of the polls at 8:00 p.m., we will cover the entire electoral night in Galicia.

Five of the seven cities can change their government

Five of the seven Galician cities go to the polls with everything open, while two of them (Pontevedra and Vigo) seem to maintain their current configuration. This is the situation in Galician cities.

A Coruña: Governed in a minority by the PSOE, the polls indicate that a left-wing bipartite, tripartite or quadripartite party led by the PSOE will emerge from 28-M, or else a PP government with a simple majority if the left fails to add 14 councilors.Ferrol: Governed in a minority by the PSOE, the polls point to an absolute majority of the PP.Lugo: Governed in coalition by the PSOE and BNG, the surveys indicate that either this government will be maintained or an absolute majority of the PP would unseat it.Pontevedra: Governed in coalition by the PSOE and the BNG, all the surveys agree that the situation will continue.Santiago de Compostela: Governed by the PSOE with a simple majority, the polls agree that a left-wing government will be maintained, but as a bipartisan one with the BNG, which could even lead it.Vigo: Governed by the PSOE, all the polls agree that Abel Caballero will maintain his absolute majority.

The two northern councils can change sign

Of the four Galician councils, three are in the hands of the PSOE with the support of the BNG and one (Ourense) is governed by the PP. According the surveys, there are two councils, that of A Coruña and Lugo, which could change sign, becoming governed by the PP. It is expected that the PSOE will continue to maintain that of Pontevedra and the PP that of Ourense.
