The governing center-left Socialist Workers' Party is set to win the national election in Spain but fall short of a majority. And a new far-right party is likely to win seats for the first time. The Socialist Workers' Party is expected to negotiate with other parties to establish a coalition. The new party Vox is expected to win over 20 seats in the House of Deputies to become the 5th largest. Far-right parties have not won much support in Spain where the military rule under General Francisco Franco lasted till the mid 1970's.
