Exit polls from Spain's election suggest that the conservative party PP is likely to lead negotiations to form a new government, potentially ending the socialist rule of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. PP secured between 145 and 150 seats, while the socialist party PSOE obtained between 113 and 118 seats. The far-right party Vox may have come in third or fourth, and there is speculation about whether PP will join forces with Vox. The election was brought about by PSOE's defeat in regional and municipal polls in May, and the focus of the vote was largely on cultural and societal matters.
