Spanish election: Conservatives win but hung parliament likely

Spain was heading for a hung parliament with neither left nor right likely to secure a majority in the Sunday election, paving the way for drawn-out and potentially fruitless negotiations to form a government.

With 99 percent of votes counted by 11:45 p.m. local time, the opposition People’s Party (PP) had 136 seats, while Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s ruling Socialists (PSOE) had 122 seats in the 350-seat parliament – both far from the 176 needed for a governing majority.
