Alicante province's main political parties are finalizing their candidate lists for the 2027 regional and municipal elections. In Vega Baja, Torrevieja's candidate is anticipated to be re-elected Mayor Eduardo Dolón, while the local PP remains focused on continuity. In municipalities of Orihuela and Almoradí, the political landscape is less certain, as these areas face unresolved issues.
The PSPV-PSOE has rapidly appointed its candidates, with Diana Morant confirmed as the Generalitat candidate and Bárbara Soler named to lead the socialist list in Torrevieja. However, socialist primaries in Orihuela have been suspended due to a complaint, leaving the party without a confirmed challenger for the city council. Almoradí's socialist organisation is under the control of an interim committee, potentially leading to a direct appointment or a later selection process.
Compromís, a coalition, is still undecided about its participation in the elections, whether to contest under its current banner or include other parties. Vox, too, awaits instructions from Madrid before announcing its leading candidates, including the Generalitat nominee. Torrevieja and Orihuela are poised for contest between familiar figures, but uncertainty remains for Almoradí and the other municipalities.
