Left-wing parties agree joint Senate list for Alicante but will stand separately for Congress
The agreement allocates two places to PSPV-PSOE and one to Compromís in Alicante; the Congress list will bring together other parties without PSPV.
Left-wing parties will stand together for the Senate in Alicante in the elections on 29 November 2026, under the name «Senado de Progreso» (Senate of Progress). The agreement does not extend to Congress: PSPV-PSOE and Compromís-Front Valencià will field separate lists there.
The agreement for the upper house was finalised on 16 October, at the end of the deadline for registering coalitions. In Alicante, the allocation reserves two places for PSPV-PSOE and one for Compromís, which would go to Més-Compromís.
The joint list aims to consolidate the left-wing vote and compete for the province’s seats. Alicante elects four senators. In provincial constituencies, each voter can mark up to three candidates, so the agreement affects how these parties group their choices for the Senate.
For Congress, Compromís, Podem, Esquerra Unida and Esquerra Republicana del País Valencià will stand under the name Compromís-Front Valencià. This coalition will stand separately from PSPV-PSOE, despite the alliance reached by left-wing parties for the upper house.
In the general election of July 2023, Alicante elected three PP senators and one from PSOE. The make-up of the joint list for November and the campaign will determine how the agreement is reflected on the province’s ballot papers.
