Polling projections indicate Galician President Alfonso Rueda will expand his absolute majority, while left-wing opposition parties lose ground.

Galician Regional President Alfonso Rueda is set to maintain power without requiring coalition partners following recent polling projections in Galicia. The ruling People's Party (PP) retains strong public backing and could gain up to two additional parliamentary seats, securing more positions than all opposition left-wing parties combined.

Meanwhile, the nationalist Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) has seen its momentum stall after reaching historic highs in previous elections. The Socialist Party (PSOE) continues to record historically low support levels, failing to capitalize on opposition sentiment. The results reinforce the conservative party's long-standing electoral dominance in the northwestern Spanish region.
