Gran Canaria - Online

Well,

for thos of you who are interested, and if you voted yesterday for regional elections you probably are, the results are commonly known but i will summ them up a bit. Though i don’t like to talk about politics, this change for Las Palmas is worth to mention.
Big knock out for the Partido Popular in our capital since the PSOE won with absolute majority, ending a 3 terms in a row of “popularity”.

Jeronimo Saavedra (PSOE) is new Las Palmas major, Jose Manuel Soria (Partido Popular) is president of the council again but socialist candidate Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar (PSOE) has 10 days to state a vote of no confidence and make a pact with other parties to gain the presidency. The parliament results are: 26 M.P.’s for PSOE, 17 M.P.’s for CC-PNC, 15 for the PP and 2 for CC-AHI.

Telde got took over almost entirely by Nueva Canarias and San Bartolomé (the south of the island) is mainly in control of Agrupacion de Vecinos lead by Marco Aurelio Perez.

For more detailed results look it up here: Municipalities - Council - Parliament
