Frente Amplio to run in 51 of 52 districts, skipping only Teruel

The left-wing coalition Frente Amplio will field candidates for Spain's 29-N general election in 51 of the 52 congressional districts, with the sole exception of Teruel province. The decision, confirmed by multiple sources, ends days of uncertainty about whether the coalition would withdraw from other small provinces to concentrate the progressive vote behind the PSOE.

The Teruel exception

The only district without a Frente Amplio candidate is Teruel, where the regional partner Chunta Aragonesista (CHA) unilaterally decided to pull out, arguing it would help the PSOE defeat right-wing parties. Izquierda Unida (IU) strongly opposed the move and even considered running alone, but was legally bound by the coalition agreement. Source: ABC Source: El Mundo

Internal tensions and alliances

The coalition, led by Ada Colau, has faced significant internal friction. In Catalonia, Colau's list for Barcelona sparked controversy after Aina Vidal, the former lead candidate, was excluded. The party's national council approved the list with only 59% support, reflecting deep divisions.
