Moreno wins in 2026 but will need to negotiate to govern Andalusia

Published on May 20, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Juanma Moreno has reaffirmed his victory in the 2026 Andalusian elections, but the numbers do not give him an absolute majority. The PP will need to gather support to form a government, opening a period of negotiations with other political forces. Uncertainty over the final pact will mark the coming months.

Juanma Moreno smiles in front of a map of Andalusia, with seat figures lacking an absolute majority and hands shaking in a sign of agreement.

The electoral code is updated with allocation algorithms 🤖

Seat allocation systems, based on the D'Hondt method, continue to be a headache for developers of counting apps. This time, turnout and invalid vote data were processed with new Python libraries that optimize the calculation of remainders. However, the lack of an open standard for result files forced technical teams to make last-minute patches. The transparency of the process depends on these scripts being auditable by third parties, something that remains a pending issue.

Pactometer 2.0: the app that can't find a majority 📱

The Junta's computer scientists have had to update the famous pactometer to reflect that, with the current numbers, the only viable combinations are as stable as a WiFi connection in an industrial estate. Simulations show that any agreement requires adding Vox or the left, which in practice is like trying to merge in Git with two branches that hate each other. In the end, the operating system of Andalusian politics will call for a forced reboot.
