The new Sumar party will choose its leader on October 17th in anticipation of a possible snap election: these are the candidates in the running.

Political parties in Spain are accelerating preparations for a potential early general election that could see citizens choosing a new prime minister before the end of the year. Amid these growing expectations of an electoral timeline adjustment, the newly formed Sumar movement has scheduled the selection of its leader for October 17 to position itself advantageously for the upcoming polls.

While parties organize their internal leadership structures, the prospect of an early vote has prompted varied political responses. Reyes Maroto, the Socialist spokesperson in the Madrid City Council, emphasized that the decision to trigger an early election rests exclusively with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, while asserting that the public currently demands concrete solutions rather than falsehoods.
