Closing campaigns in a heated electoral cycle focused on mobilizing voters across the province. The final stretch of the race brought the usual mix of chants, banners, and close calls, with political actors who had spent weeks courting crowds trying to convert passion into ballots. The closing day adhered to that pattern: campaign teams doubled down on messaging crafted in days prior, aiming to translate momentum into a decisive turnout. The Socialist camp urged supporters to turn out in large numbers to shift the momentum in their favor and to counter the rise of the far-right, while the PP pressed for votes to repeal policies associated with the so-called sanchismo. Sumar-Compromís, meanwhile, leaned on climate action as a central pillar of their appeal to voters who prioritize environmental and social issues. Early on the final day, members of Vox dispatched to Madrid to participate in the party’s major event after a busy campaign week elsewhere in the region. This mix of strategy and spectacle underscored how each party sought to convert enthusiasm into electoral power, with street rallies, media appearances, and organized get-out-the-vote efforts shaping the closing hours of an election that could redefine regional governance.
A major gathering took place in Sant Joan d’Alacant where the Socialists staged a rally around state candidate Alejandro Soler, backed by Minister Margarita Robles who urged voters to participate on Sunday and preserve a progressive example. Supporters echoed Soler’s call to fill the ballot boxes with a strong social-democratic turnout, framing the vote as a defense of inclusive progress and stable governance. The sentiment was clear: demonstrate democratic resolve with every ballot cast.
On the other side of the spectrum, Macarena Montesinos, the PP’s provincial candidate, appeared onstage with Carlos Mazón, both emphasizing the need to vote against what they described as the current administration’s failures. The party leadership stressed that the moment had arrived to communicate directly with voters about the government’s record and its impact on Alicante, highlighting concerns about local management and accountability. Toni Pérez, newly elected President of the Provincial Council, also joined the campaign finale, reinforcing the message that change could come through a concerted electoral effort.
The Sumar-Compromís team, featuring Txema Guijarro at the top of the list and Imma Orozco in second place, closed their campaign in Elche. Their denunciation of the current administration’s approach to environmental and urban policy framed the race as a test of local leadership. They argued that the city’s green initiatives were under threat under the current government and positioned themselves as the champions of sustainable development, public health, and climate resilience. The closing event underscored a broader debate about how regional planners balance growth with environmental stewardship and social equity, a topic resonating with voters across the province and beyond.
