The PNV remains the first force in the Basque Country, with very close competition

In Álava, jeltzales would tie to eight seats with EH Bildu, but they would be the first force by a tenth, winning Sumar a seat.

The latest poll conducted by the Basque Government on voting intention for the Basque Parliament reflects that PNV and EH Bildu are on parwith . Jeltzales would win 28 seats and EH Bildu 27, with the contest open for first place.

Third would be the PSE-EE, with 12 representatives and 14.3% of the votes. It would remain key to a majority. The PP would win 7 seats (8.7%) and Vox would remain in the House with a member of parliament (2.9%).

The absolute majority  (38 seats) would be far away for all parties and, consequently, agreements would have to be reached after the elections. The PNV and the PSE-EE, together, would get 40 seats, exceeding that limit.

In Álava, the PNV would be the first force to win a seat at Sumar's expense, and in a technical draw with EH Bildu. Both parties would get eight seats, one tenth apart.

In Bizkaia, the PNV would win 11 seats, EH Bildu 8, PSE-EE 4 and PP 2, while in GipuzkoaEH Bildu would be the first force, with 11 parliamentarians, ahead of PNV (9), PSE-EE (4) and PP (1).

Abstention would be around 40 per cent in the three Historic Territories, with similar figures: 40.6 per cent in Álava, 40.5 per cent in Bizkaia and 41.5 per cent in Gipuzkoa; moreover, the study shows a high percentageof those in question : there are territories where those who do not know who to vote exceed 20 per cent, which creates a significant margin of uncertainty.

The report is based on 3,030 interviews conducted through structured questionnaires from 23 to 26 March. The weighting of the data has taken into account variables such as who voted in 2024, knowledge of the Basque Country and distribution of the population. The margin of error is ± 1.8% in the Basque Country as a whole, with a confidence level of 95.5%.

Compared to the current division of the Basque Parliament, according to the poll, the rivalry betweenthe two main forces has narrowed even further. EH Bildu has lost first place in Álava for the benefit of the PNV and, in general, the two parties have been separated by a single seat.
