Political maneuvering for the 2027 Canary Islands regional elections has intensified as major parties define their candidates and strategies. Coalición Canaria (CC) has officially endorsed Fernando Clavijo as its candidate, with Clavijo emphasizing the need for regional autonomy and stability to address social and economic challenges without interference from Madrid. On the opposing side, Ángel Víctor Torres, the leader of the PSOE in the Canary Islands and Spain’s Minister of Territorial Policy, has ~~moved from signaling his ambitions to~~ officially ~~announcing~~ announced his candidacy for the presidency. Torres, who served as regional president from 2019 to 2023, has stated his intention to form a progressive coalition and has explicitly ruled out governing with the People's Party or Vox, whom he described as the ‘ultra-right.’ His platform focuses on housing, wealth redistribution, ~~and~~ regional ~~financing.~~ financing, and a ‘Canarian agenda.’ To formalize his candidacy, the PSOE Canarias has established a schedule for internal primaries to select the party's candidate for the May 2027 elections. The process, beginning September 17, includes a period for submitting pre-candidates, collecting endorsements, and an information campaign for party members. A vote is scheduled for October 10, with a potential runoff on October 17. Torres has stated his objective is to ‘volver a ganar las elecciones en Canarias’ (return to winning the elections in the Canary Islands).
