MADRID (Sputnik) — Among other party members to hold on to their posts was Defense Minister Maria Dolores de Cospedal, the secretary general of the conservative PP.
"Everyone stays, I did not replace anyone because they did their jobs well," Rajoy told journalists.
The prime minister submitted the only party leadership list, which was voted on at the end of the 18th party congress. It was upheld by 95.65 percent of ballots cast.
