Santa Cruz de Tenerife (EFE).- The PSOE and the PP have emerged reinforced in the general elections in the Canary Islands: both have surpassed the seats they obtained in 2019, at the expense of the other parties, Coalición Canaria (CC), Sumar and Vox, who have each lost one representative compared to the previous general elections.
In the Canary Islands, fifteen seats were at stake, of which the PSOE and PP shared twelve, six each, when in 2019 there were nine, five for the PSOE and four for the PP.
In this way, the PSOE obtains one more seat and the PP two more, at the expense of CC, which loses one with respect to 2019, when it competed with Nueva Canarias; of Sumar, who loses his seat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife with respect to United We Can; and of Vox, which loses its representative in the western province where it could not present a candidacy due to its internal disagreements.
In the Canary Islands as a whole, the PSOE has won in number of votes, although by provinces it has been the first in Las Palmas but the second in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where the PP has triumphed.
Of the eight seats at stake in Las Palmas, three have been for the PSOE, three for the PP, one for Vox and one for Sumar.
Of the seven seats in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, three have been for the PP, three for the PSOE and one for the Canary Islands Coalition. The socialist victory in the Canary Islands has been reinforced in the Senate, where the PSOE maintains the seven senators obtained four years ago.
The PP maintains two of its three senators from four years ago, one in Gran Canaria and one in Tenerife, although in La Palma the advantage of the Socialists was just over one hundred votes with the vote count at 97%.
By islands, in Tenerife the PSOE gets two seats and the PP one; in Gran Canaria the PSOE two and the PP one; in La Palma, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura the three representatives in the upper house, one for each island, are for the PSOE.
The Agrupación Socialista Gomera (ASG) retains its seat on that island and the Agrupación Herreña Independiente (AHI) wins the seat of El Hierro. EFE
