The ruling Socialist Party has won the fourth election in the last four years in Spain. However, this party has failed to win more than 50 per cent of the vote. The far-right party, Vox, climbed to third place, while the party “citizens” suffered serious losses.

The Socialist Workers' Party, led by the current prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, won 120 seats in the assembly, three less than in April's election. The popular party won 87 seats, while Vox party doubled the votes compared to past elections, from 24 to 52.

Spanish citizens seem angry and frustrated by the ongoing political crisis because voter turnout was about 6 percent lower. In April, 75.5 percent of Spaniards had rightly voted, while 69.9 percent voted on Sunday.

These results suggest Spain could again face a political crisis, which could be resolved through long-standing negotiations on forming government on a highly divided scene.

The election winner and current prime minister said it aims to form a progressive government and urged political opponents not to prevent it from achieving that goal, writes the Guardian”.
