The division of the vote in the provinces
The division of the vote between the two provinces of Extremadura, in Badajoz in favor of Miguel Ángel Gallardo and in Cáceres in favor of Lara Garlito, is one of the most important keys to explain the victory of the mayor of Villanueva de la Serena in the PSOE primaries of Extremadura .
Proof of this is that Gallardo has obtained more votes in the province of Badajoz than Garlito in all of Extremadura.
The weight of the Badajoz vote
Despite his well-known differences with the provincial secretary of the PSOE of Badajoz, Rafael Lemus, and the fact that the two candidates have been supported by militants, organic party officials, mayors and councilors from the other province, the weight of the Badajoz vote has been a very determining factor.
The president of the Badajoz Provincial Council will be the new general secretary of the party having obtained 55.71% of the votes (4,089), compared to 43.34% for Garlito (3,181).
