Marisol Gallud, seventh on PP’s Alicante list for Congress
The president of the PP in Guardamar and the party’s spokesperson on the Town Council is on the list led by Macarena Montesinos for the general election on 29 November. The candidates were registered with the Electoral Commission on Monday.
Guardamar del Segura, 27 October 2026. Guardamar will be represented on the People’s Party (PP) list for the Congress of Deputies in Alicante province. Marisol Gallud Sampere, president of the local PP and spokesperson for the party’s group on the Town Council, will be seventh on the list for the general election on 29 November.
The PP in Guardamar announced her selection on social media on Tuesday, celebrating it «with pride» and presenting it as recognition of Gallud’s work, leadership and commitment to the party in the town.
Gallud has been a councillor on the Guardamar Town Council since June 2023 and is spokesperson for the PP group, leading the opposition to the local government headed by Socialist José Luis Sáez. In recent years, she has voiced some of the party’s most prominent criticisms of the administration, including over the bylaw governing the use of public spaces and its impact on hospitality venues’ terraces, and the lack of resources for the beach lifeguard service.
The PP’s Alicante list for Congress is again headed by MP Macarena Montesinos, followed by former Calp mayor and PPCV campaign director César Sánchez, and María Gómez. The rest of the list comprises Joaquín Melgarejo, Celia Lastra, José Camarasa, Gallud in seventh place, Javier Navarro, Adela Moncho, Jesús Plaza, Eva Sandín and Juan Molina. María García Pascual, Francisco Cano and Silvia Fernández are the substitutes. The PP’s Senate candidates are Eva Ortiz, Agustín Almodóbar and María Francisca Sempere.
The party’s provincial president, Toni Pérez, presented the lists on Monday after registering them with the Electoral Commission. He described them as a united team behind a shared project for Spain, the Valencian Community and the province.
Alicante province elects 12 MPs. At the July 2023 general election, the PP won five seats with 36.8% of the vote, compared with four for the PSOE, two for Vox and one for Sumar-Compromís. Gallud’s seventh-place position means the PP would need to improve on that result by two seats for her to reach Congress.
The election campaign begins on Friday 13 November, and polling stations will open on Sunday 29 November. The deadline to apply for a postal vote is 19 November.
