In the vote on 26 June, the PP won 137 seats, followed by the PSOE with 85 coalition Unidos Podemos reached 71, while Citizens closed with 32.

to reach the 176 deputies, which is the threshold required for the investiture, the PP would need the support of the PSOE, which has reiterated its rejection of such an option.
