Left-wing parties set to get majority in April 28 election

Spain's left-wing parties, including the Socialists (PSOE) and Podemos, could win enough seats to together hold a parliamentary majority in the April 28 election, while right-wing parties would fall short, an official poll showed on Tuesday.

The official poll by the Centre for Sociological Studies (CIS), the last before the election, showed the PSOE, together with Podemos and its allies, could win up to 181 seats in the best-case scenario.

But the poll provides a wide range, and the worst case scenario for the left-wing parties totals only 157 seats, below the 176-seat majority.
