Overview

  • Leaders of IU, Sumar and Iniciativa del Pueblo Andaluz agreed to put Maíllo forward and presented the bid in Seville on Friday, pending coalition primaries.
  • Maíllo will keep his post as IU’s federal coordinator while running for the Junta presidency.
  • Podemos remains outside the confluence and has tapped Juan Antonio Delgado as its own contender, underscoring a divided space to the left of the PSOE.
  • Coalition sources frame the move as an effort to challenge PP leader Juanma Moreno after a bruising period for his government over breast cancer screening failures.
  • The former IU Andalucía leader, candidate in 2015 and regional lawmaker in 2018, said his decision was enabled by recovered health and a renewed sense of commitment.
