The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) has expanded its internal processes to select candidates for the 2027 municipal and regional elections. In the Valencian Community, the PSPV-PSOE is implementing a primary calendar focused on large municipalities such as Valencia, Elche, and Castellón de la Plana, with a goal to define 80% of its municipal candidacies by November. This rollout has encountered internal friction in Benidorm, where tensions have emerged regarding leadership preferences for a single candidate to bypass a primary vote. In Madrid, primary processes for municipalities of significant size were scheduled to commence in September. The Madrid branch has since concluded the first phase of its municipal primary process, confirming candidates in twenty-five municipalities. Competitive primaries are set for three towns with populations exceeding twenty thousand: Boadilla del Monte, where Alessandra del Mónaco Rubio and Rubén Darío Jaimes Chacón are competing; Colmenar Viejo, featuring Daniel Gómez Sanchidrián and Paloma Maroñas Aveleiras; and Pinto, where Jaume Cortina Silvestre will face Juan Diego Ortiz González. The process moves to an endorsement collection phase between September 9 and September 16, followed by an internal campaign and a vote scheduled for September 26, with a potential second round on October 3. In Andalusia, the party ~~is seeing multiple aspirants in cities including Huelva, Córdoba, and Almería, while Antonio Muñoz in Seville is expected to run without direct opposition.
