MADRID (Sputnik) — Spain’s center-right Popular Party (PP) is projected to win Sunday’s parliamentary election with 28.5 percent of votes, according to a fresh exit poll.

After sampling 132,000 voters at over 1,000 polling stations, the Sigma Dos pollster predicted that Unidos Podemos, a left-wing alliance, will come second with 25.6 percent of votes.

The Socialists (PSOE) will be edged out to the third place with 22 percent after finishing second in December’s vote, which failed to give majority to any of the leading parties.

The Citizens (C’s) are expected to secure 11.8 percent of votes.

These results will translate into 117-121 seats in the Spanish legislature for PP, 91-95 seats for Unidos Podemos, 81-85 seats for the Socialists, and 25-30 seats for the Citizens.
