These representatives of the PP join its 20 senators by regional designation who also have a seat in the Bailén street chamber, so that as of today it has 136, three more than those who make up the absolute majority in this institution.

Meanwhile, the PSOE has gone from 93 elected seats to 76, which represents a loss of 17 compared to those achieved in 2019.
At a great distance, with seven seats, is “Izquierdas por la Independencia”, which brings together senators from ERC and EH Bildu, who have already shared a parliamentary group in the last legislature.

The PNV experienced a very serious setback, as more than half of its elected senators were left in these elections, going from the nine achieved in the previous general elections (with one more designated by the Basque Parliament) to just four.

For its part, Junts per Catalunya falls from three elected to one, the Gomera Socialist Group (ASG) retains its seat, the UPN Navarrese also maintains theirs and the Independent Herreña Group (AHI) enters the Chamber with another.
A senator achieved by the Ibizan coalition made up of PSOE, Sumar, EUIB and Ara Eivissa, who competed for the two Pitiusas islands, may also join the socialist group.

In addition to the 208 senators who have been elected by the citizens at the polls today, the territorial chamber has another 57 designated by the autonomous parliaments, reaching the figure of 265 representatives in the chamber.

The appointed senators are renewed with the regional elections; After the elections of May 28, the process began to elect again 31 corresponding to the parliaments that arose from those elections.
