The first elections to the Andalusian Parliament in 1982 showed clear leadership from the PSOE in Almería, securing 48.93% of the votes and six seats. This was followed by the UCD with 22.11% and three seats, and Alianza Popular with 17.37% and two seats. In subsequent years, the PSOE maintained its hegemony, albeit with slight variations in vote percentage, managing to increase its representation to seven deputies in 1986.

The 1990s marked a turning point. In 1990, the PSOE, under new leadership, surpassed 50% of the votes. However, in 1994, the Popular Party achieved its first victory in the province of Almería, reflecting a shift in political sociology. Despite this specific victory, the PSOE regained the top position in 1996.

The new century brought an alternation in provincial leadership. In 2000, the Popular Party once again prevailed in Almería, securing six seats compared to the PSOE's five. Nevertheless, in 2004, the PSOE experienced a significant resurgence, achieving its best historical result at the regional level and reclaiming leadership in the province with six seats.

From 2008 onwards, the Popular Party consolidated its dominance in Almería, achieving a historic result with 49.68% of the votes and seven seats. This trend continued in 2012, when the PP exceeded 51.7% of the votes. The elections of 2015 and 2018 showed a fragmentation of the vote, with the emergence of new political formations, although the PP continued to be the most voted force in the province.

The culmination of this trajectory for the Popular Party came in 2022, when it secured a resounding victory in Almería with 45.91% of the votes and six seats, while the PSOE recorded its worst result in four decades. In the last 18 years, the PSOE has lost 69,829 votes in the province, demonstrating a clear decline in its electoral support.
