The PSOE wins in 13 capitals with a single absolute majority –Soria– and only secures the mayoralty in 11 of them

MADRID, 29 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Popular Party (PP) has managed to rise as the political force with the most votes in 27 provincial capitals and in 13 of them it has done so by an absolute majority, compared to the 13 capitals in which the PSOE has won, which has only achieved one result by absolute majority.

Núñez Feijóo’s party has won an absolute majority in Madrid, in Andalusian cities such as Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada and Málaga, as well as in Badajoz, Murcia, Oviedo, Salamanca Santander, Teruel and Logroño. To these enclaves would be added the absolute of Melilla.

In addition, the municipal candidates of the PP have managed to be the first force in Albacete, Alicante, Cáceres, Castellón, Ciudad Real, A Coruña, Huelva, Huesca, Palma, Pontevedra, Segovia, Seville, Valencia and Zaragoza. To these capitals I would add Santiago de Compostela and Ceuta. However, despite being the formation with the most votes, the post-electoral pacts could take away the mayoralty of Pontevedra, A Coruña or Santiago, where the BNG will be key.

For its part, the PSOE achieves absolute majorities in Soria and Mérida –it is not the capital–, and is the leading force in Burgos, Cuenca, Girona, Guadalajara, León, Lleida, Palencia, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tarragona, Toledo and Valladolid.

Although the two big parties have divided up most of the territory, other formations such as the PNV have managed to be the first force in Bilbao and San Sebastián -Vitoria has been for Bildu-, UPN has established itself as the first force in Pamplona and Democracia Ourensana in Ourense.
