The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is set to win the most seats in the country's parliamentary election Sunday but will fall short of the majority needed to form a government, an opinion poll showed.
The socialists of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez were seen ahead but well short of a majority, according to a survey by GAD3 published shortly after mainland voting ended.
Sanchez has been at the helm of government for less than a year. He came to power in June 2018 after a vote of no-confidence in the previous People's Party administration, under conservative Mariano Rajoy. It also Spain's third national election in four years. — but not enough for the party to govern alone. The polls also suggested a sizeable far-right presence for the first time since the nationalist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, who ruled over Spain until his death in 1975.
