Elected President

TBD

A regional election was held in Extremadura on Sunday, 21 December 2025, to elect the 12th Assembly of the autonomous community. All 65 seats in the Assembly were up for election. This marked the first time that a regional president exercised the legal prerogative to call a snap election.

The 2023 election had seen a coalition between the People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party being formed under the presidency of María Guardiola, who during government negotiations had pledged not to let the latter into her cabinet, only to backtrack during the lead up to the 2023 Spanish general election. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), who was ousted from power only for the second time in history, saw a leadership change from Guillermo Fernández Vara—who died from stomach cancer in October 2025—to the then-president of the provincial deputation of Badajoz, Miguel Ángel Gallardo. The PP–Vox coalition collapsed in July 2024 over a strategic movement from the latter's national leadership, with Guardiola leading a minority government from that point onwards. On 27 October 2025, in an attempt to capitalize both on Gallardo's involvement in a judicial probe on an alleged cronyism case affecting the brother of the incumbent prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, as well as on the announcement by PSOE and Vox to vote down her 2026 budget, Guardiola called an early election for 21 December.

The election saw a resounding victory for Guardiola's PP, which nonetheless fell well short of its goal of securing an overall majority. The PSOE vote collapsed with its worst historical showing in the region, in what was attributed both as a punishment to Gallardo and a response to growing discontent with Sánchez's national government. Vox saw a strong performance, doubling its results and retaining its position as kingmaker of any prospective PP government, whereas the left-wing United for Extremadura alliance benefitted from the PSOE's decline. The combined vote for right-from-centre parties was 60.1%, which was the highest in history, albeit under the lowest voter turnout since the first regional election in 1983.

Background

[edit]

The 2023 regional election saw a parliamentary majority for the People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party, despite the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) remaining the largest overall.[2] PP candidate María Guardiola's initial refusal to form a coalition government with Vox led to several weeks of public clashes[3][4]—seeing Guardiola herself proclaiming that she could not allow "those who deny gender-based violence, who use bold strokes, dehumanize immigrants and display a banner on which they throw the LGTBI flag into a trash can" into her government[5]—and in the PSOE and United for Extremadura (the alliance between Podemos and United Left) retaining control of the Assembly's bureau as the PP and Vox voted for their own candidates.[6] Ultimately, Guardiola was forced to U-turn and form a PP–Vox cabinet by her own party's national leadership,[7] then embroiled in the 23 July 2023 general election campaign.[8][9] This political episode was said to have contributed to the PP's failure to meet expectations in the general election by evidencing the party's willingness to allow the far-right into government despite public pledges to the contrary.[10][11][12]

Guillermo Fernández Vara, who had been president of Extremadura from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2015 to 2023, announced his withdrawal from regional politics after failing to secure investiture,[13][14] being proposed as a senator instead.[15] In December 2023, Vara announced that he was suffering from stomach cancer,[16] which ultimately led to his death two years later.[17] Miguel Ángel Gallardo, president of the provincial deputation of Badajoz and regarded as a critic of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's leadership, was elected in March 2024 as Vara's successor at the helm of the regional PSOE branch.[18][19] In May 2025, Gallardo was indicted on charges of perverting the course of justice and influence peddling related to the allegedly illegal hiring in 2017 of Sánchez's brother in the deputation he presided over,[20][21] with him seeking parliamentary immunity by becoming an Assembly member in a move that the High Court of Justice of Extremadura deemed to be law evasion;[22][23][24] Gallardo denied any wrongdoing and suggested that he was the target of a lawfare campaign.[25][26]

On 11 July 2024, Vox's national leader Santiago Abascal forced the break up of all PP–Vox regional governments over a controversy regarding the nationwide distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities.[27][28][29] Vox's single regional minister in Guardiola's cabinet, Ignacio Higuero, quit the party in order to preserve his office,[30][31] though his involvement in a resume padding scandal eventually led to his resignation in August 2025.[32][33] Budget negotiations in the autumn of 2025 hinted at the possibility of Guardiola calling a snap election for early next year in the event of a parliamentary deadlock,[34][35] which she ultimately did in an attempt to take advantage of internal polling showing a weak opposition.[36]

Overview

[edit]

Under the 2011 Statute of Autonomy, the Assembly of Extremadura was the unicameral legislature of the homonymous autonomous community, having legislative power in devolved matters, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a regional president.[37]

Electoral system

[edit]

Voting for the Assembly was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Extremadura and in full enjoyment of their political rights, provided that they were not sentenced—by a final court ruling—to deprivation of the right to vote.[38][39][40]

The Assembly of Extremadura was entitled to a maximum of 65 seats, with the electoral law setting its size at that number. All members were elected in two multi-member constituencies—corresponding to the provinces of Badajoz and Cáceres, with each being allocated an initial minimum of 20 seats and the remaining 25 being distributed in proportion to their populations—using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional voting system, with an electoral threshold of five percent of valid votes (which included blank ballots) being applied in each constituency. Alternatively, parties failing to reach the threshold in one of the constituencies were also entitled to enter the seat distribution as long as they ran candidates in both districts and reached five percent regionally.[38][41]

As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each Assembly constituency was entitled the following seats:[42]

Seats Constituencies
36 Badajoz
29 Cáceres

The law did not provide for by-elections to fill vacated seats; instead, any vacancies that occurred after the proclamation of candidates and into the legislative term were to be covered by the successive candidates in the list and, when required, by the designated substitutes.[43][44]

Election date

[edit]

The term of the Assembly of Extremadura expired four years after the date of its previous election, unless it was dissolved earlier. The election decree was required to be issued no later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the scheduled date of expiry of parliament and published on the following day in the Official Journal of Extremadura (DOE), with election day taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication.[37][45][46] The previous election was held on 28 May 2023, which meant that the legislature's term would have expired on 28 May 2027. The election decree was required to be published in the DOE no later than 4 May 2027, with the election taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication, setting the latest possible date for election day on Sunday, 27 June 2027.

The regional president had the prerogative to dissolve the Assembly of Extremadura and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence was in process and that dissolution did not occur before one year had elapsed since the previous one.[45][47] In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the first ballot, the Assembly was to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called.[48]

The political deadlock resulting from the 2023 election result, in which no single party secured an absolute majority of seats, was briefly commented as potentially leading to a repeat election as PP's María Guardiola opposed letting the far-right Vox into government.[49] Guardiola eventually bowed to political pressure from her party at the national level and signed a coalition agreement with Vox,[7][8][9] being elected as regional president on 14 July 2023 and dashing any prospect of an imminent early election.[50] The possibility of an early election call was again floated in late 2024, after Vox's split with her government left Guardiola in a minority and unable to get her 2025 budget passed through parliament, but this attempt ultimately failed to materialize.[51][52]

On 29 September 2025, Guardiola threatened a snap election if opposition parties blocked her government's budget for 2026.[34] Speculation then emerged that the national leadership of the People's Party (PP) was planning to advance the elections in Aragon and Extremadura (and possibly the Balearic Islands) to make them take place near or concurrently with the Castilian-Leonese election scheduled for early 2026, in an electoral "Super Sunday".[53][54][55] While the alleged justification would be the regional governments' failure to approve their 2026 budgets, the true motive was attributed to PP plans—not without risk—to turn the simultaneous election call into a referendum on the national government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.[56][57] The regional PP ruled out any plans for a joint election call and defended their president's "full freedom" to make her independent decisions.[58][59] The Extremaduran government's decision to table the budget on 16 October without having secured any support was viewed by the opposition as part of Guardiola's tactic.[35][60][61] The PP blamed the PSOE for a prospective failure in the budget's approval while relations with Vox remained "difficult",[62][63][64] as the latter was reportedly willing to take public blame for forcing early elections in Aragon and Extremadura.[65][66] After PSOE and Vox hinted at voting down Guardiola's budget,[67][68][69] it transpired that she would announce the parliament's dissolution on 28 October,[70][71] with the election tentatively scheduled for between 21 December 2025 and 15 March 2026.[72][73][74][75] On 27 October, a decision by both PSOE and Vox to reject supporting each other's attempts to block the budgetary procedure hinted at its continuation,[76][77] but Guardiola announced a snap election regardless.[78][79] It was commented that Guardiola advanced her decision due to it becoming unclear whether she would lose the budget vote on the next day, which would have thwarted her justification for an election.[80]

The Assembly of Extremadura was officially dissolved on 28 October 2025 with the publication of the dissolution decree in the DOE, setting election day for 21 December.[42]

Parties and candidates

[edit]

The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, alliances and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form an alliance ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant electoral commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of at least two percent of the electorate in the constituencies for which they sought election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates.[83][84] Amendments to the electoral law in 2024 increased requirements for a balanced composition of men and women in the electoral lists through the use of a zipper system.[85]

Election debates

[edit]

RTVE proposed holding an election debate between the main candidates of the parties with parliamentary representation.[100] Regional president María Guardiola rejected attending after critizing the invitation as a "political strategy" by the government of Spain,[101] but PSOE, Vox and UxE confirmed their participation, with the debate being scheduled regardless of Guardiola's participation.[102][103] On 4 December, the PP confirmed that no party member would attend the debate.[104]
