Bengoetxea and Etxanobe have already moved to the second round of the PNV primary, but the vote ends on Sunday
The BBB candidate has won the support of some 34 Batzokis, well above the current MP (10). The second round of candidates with sufficient support (two Batzokis) will take place from 29 October to 2 November.
On the first dayof the vote, yesterday, the MP, ElixabeteEtxanobe , and the BBB candidate, Ibone Bengoetxea , obtained the minimum support necessary to move to the second round, which will take place from 29 October to 2 November.
The official candidate has won broad support in the first round of voting and already has the support of 34 Batzokis, while Etxanobe has prevailed in 10 Batzokis.
It remains to be seen whether any other candidates will be added and whether there will really be competition in the second round, because if any of them give up their candidacy, as Andoni Ortuzar did in the internal EBB elections against Aitor Etseban, there can only be one candidate left and there would be no previous one.
Ibone Bengoetxea was nominated by the BBB on 8 October as a candidate for General Deputy of Bizkaia. The following day, Elixabete Etxanobe expressed his "tremendous surprise" at this decision and said he did not know the "reasons" for it, after the PNV president of Bizkaia, Iñigo Ansola, confirmed in March that he would be running again.
On Tuesday morning, asked if he was willing to take part in the election contest, Etxanobe said that the "word" is "affiliate. "
In Gipuzkoa and Álava there do not seem to be any surprises with theofficial candidacies of MPs Eider Mendoza and Ramiro González .
The voting process will end with the November 11Regional Assembly in Bizkaia and November 12in Álava and Gipuzkoa.
