The PP and Citizens coalition will make up with a sixth Basque parliamentarian the bad electoral results of the past 12J in the Basque elections by achieving its sixth parliamentarian with the vote of the Absent Residents Electoral Census (CERA). The list headed by Carlos Iturgaiz in Bizkaia has obtained 127 votes compared to 180 for EH Bildu . Although the difference for this member of parliament for this party was 108 votes, to compensate each vote of the PP and C coalition, Otegi's party should have added 3.5 supports. The Basque Electoral Board will make the results official today .

PP and Citizens will have 6 deputies in the Basque Chamber (4 of the PP and 2 of Citizens) after the count of the votes arrived from abroad. In Bizkaia 1,324 requests to vote had been accepted but only 994 ballots had been validated. The center-right coalition aspired to obtain its second Biscayan MP and the 127 votes won will allow Luis Gordillo to sit in one of the 75 seats in the Basque Chamber. The PNV with 309 votes has been the CERA vote party with the most support. The PP already achieved in the last general elections in November the seat in the Congress of Bea Fanjul after the count of the CERA vote and subtracted a deputy from those granted to the PNV on election night.

With this count, EH Bildu will be left with 21 parliamentarians and the alleged majority of lefts that Elkarrekin Podemos has defended as an alternative to a Basque Executive controlled by the PNV is also diluted. The Iglesias party in the Basque Country has fallen from 11 to 6 parliamentarians and the PSE-EE of Idoia Mendia won 10 seats last Sunday. The sum of these three parties (37 representatives) would remain one seat of the absolute majority in the Parliament of Vitoria.

PNV and PSE-EE will start negotiations next Monday to reissue a new coalition agreement . The objective of Ortuzar and Mendia is to accelerate the pact so that the investiture of Iñigo Urkullu as Lehendakari is formalized during the month of August and the new Basque Government begins in September a legislature marked by recovery from the effects of Covid-19 .
