The current ruling center right PP loses its absolute majority as expected but is still the leading party. The center left PSOE comes in second and the new left wing party Podemos comes in a very close third. the new center-right Ciudadanos party comes a more distant fourth.

In the popular vote, Podemos passes PSOE (new left beats old left). Here are the percentage points: 28% for PP, 21.7% for Podemos, 20.5% for PSOE, 15.4% for Ciudadanos.
