PSOE holds internal primaries for 2027 municipal candidates
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is conducting internal primary elections to select candidates for the 2027 municipal and regional elections. These processes serve as a test of internal cohesion for the party under the leadership of regional secretary general María Jesús Montero.
In Jaén, Mayor Julio Millán secured his candidacy for the 2027 mayoral race with 70% of the vote, defeating Carlos Alberca. In Linares, Javier Perales won the primary against Ana Cobo Carmona. In Badajoz, Silvia González emerged as the candidate with 63.9% of the vote, marking the first time a woman will lead the PSOE candidacy for that city.
Other notable results include Córdoba, where José Antonio Romero and Ángel Ortiz will face a second round of voting after no candidate surpassed the 50% threshold. In Plasencia, Blanca Martín has been officially presented as the PSOE candidate. These internal elections are part of a broader effort by the party leadership to prepare the electoral machinery ahead of upcoming local, regional, and potentially general elections.
