Spain's conservative Popular Party (PP) has won the most seats (136) in this past weekend's national election, but have failed to gain an outright majority in parliament.
The Socialist Party came second with 122 seats, faring better than most observers had expected, while the left-wing Sumar Party won 31 seats, and far-right Vox Party won 33.
The results look set to lead to a hung parliament and a coalition would be needed to reach an absolute majority.
It was widely anticipated that the PP and the Vox Party would form a coalition.
But Sunday's results would no longer lead to a clear majority as the two parties have won a total of 169 seats - seven short of the 176 required to win an absolute majority.
