Cáceres’s final seat may go to the party that wins the province
Extremadura will elect nine members of Spain’s Congress in the vote scheduled for 28 November.
The region has two provinces: Badajoz, with five seats, and Cáceres, with four.
In 2023, the PSOE and PP each won two seats in Cáceres, while Vox took the other seat; Badajoz split its five seats between the parties in the same way.
Vox’s expected rise leaves one Cáceres seat in play between the PSOE and PP, according to political consultant Juan Francisco Caro.
The latest CIS poll puts the PSOE about 6,000 votes ahead in the province, but the margin of error means the result is uncertain.
The party that tops the vote in Cáceres could take the seat, even if its lead is only one vote.
Badajoz is expected to keep the same seat split as in 2023, while the final outcome in Cáceres remains to be decided.
Extremadura’s final congressional seat may go to whichever party wins the province of Cáceres, even by a single vote.
Consultant Juan Francisco Caro says Vox is likely to secure one seat there, leaving three seats contested between the PSOE and PP.
The article says the division of seats in Badajoz is expected to remain unchanged.
A recent CIS poll put the PSOE about 6,000 votes ahead in Cáceres, but the article notes the poll’s margin of error.
Former Socialist politician Paco Castañares instead predicts a clear PP victory in Extremadura and both provinces.
