Spain faces political uncertainty after inconclusive election leaves power struggle between left and right

• The right-wing Popular Party won the most votes but fell short of a majority needed to form a government.
• The Socialist party led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez finished second but celebrated the outcome as preventing the far-right from gaining power.
• Small regional parties like the Catalan separatists could play a key role in forming a government through political negotiations.
• Weeks of complicated talks are expected before a new government can be formed, with the possibility of another election still looming.
• The far-right Vox party lost seats, fading hopes of entering government for the first time since Franco's dictatorship.
