  • Album: The election day, in photos

The PSOE will be the first force in the Senate again the next legislature, although it loses the absolute majority achieved in the previous elections. The Socialists touch the hundred seats (95) of the 208 that were elected this Sunday, with 86.34% of the votes counted. The Popular Party obtains 82 senators (including that of the coalition with Unión del Pueblo Navarro). The popular ones recover 27 minutes with respect to the generals of April, a result that supposes their second worse record since Popular Alliance was consolidated under the abbreviations of the PP.

As in Congress, participation falls in comparison with the elections of 28-A (more than six points) to touch 69% of the census, not including residents abroad.

To the renewed senators on 10-N there are another 57 appointed by the regional parliaments, distributed according to the results of the regional elections. Thus, the PSOE would add a total 114 to include the 19 that it has by autonomous designation.

With these numbers, the Socialist Parliamentary Group, which decreases by 28 seats, remains at 19 of the 133 that grant the absolute majority. As was the case with Felipe González in his last term and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero throughout his term, an eventual government of Pedro Sánchez will need several forces to face procedures in the lower house, such as the approval of the General State Budget.

Despite the advance of the PP, the PSOE continues to benefit from the behavior of voters in the Senate, which causes the lower house to be governed by a majority electoral system in which the most voted in each constituency usually takes all senators from that territory except one, which goes to the second force, although there has been a tie in the cast in 18 provinces. The socialist candidates have been the most voted in 21 of the 59 constituencies, while the fragmentation of the right center vote penalizes the PP again.

Although Vox registered lists with only one candidate per territory, so that its voters had two other votes available for applicants from other parties, the millions of votes captured by the list heads of Abascal's formation only give him a seat, in Ceuta .

The Citizens debacle also reaches the Senate, where they lose four of the five representatives achieved in April. The only act retained by oranges is that of Navarra, the result of the Navarra Suma coalition with the PP and UPN, which are added to the eight that it has from the autonomous communities. For its part, United We repeat results and remain at zero on election night, keeping only the two senators appointed by the parliaments of Catalonia and Andalusia.

Within the nationalist forces there are hardly any variations compared to April. In Catalonia, ERC loses a senator in Girona and remains with 10, after losing the effect of Raül Romeva, convicted of 1-O, who was the most voted Catalan candidate on 28-A. JxCAT reaches three, winning the province of Girona. In the Basque Country, the PNV and EH Bildu repeat results with nine and one seats respectively, while the Gomera Socialist Group (ASG) maintains its own on the island island.

Among the novelties of 10-N, is the platform Teruel Existe !, which enters with two senators; Coalition for Melilla, with a record, and the unified candidacy of the Canary and New Canary Coalition in El Hierro, which recover the seat lost in April.
