The province of Huelva is gearing up for the upcoming regional elections on May 17, with 16 political formations having submitted their final candidacies for nearly 400,000 voters to elect their 11 parliamentarians.

Political parties have finalized their lists for the Andalusian elections, a process that saw some parties announce their candidates early while others waited until the last minute. With the election date set for May 17, the political landscape in Huelva is now defined, allowing the province's 398,829 voters to identify the candidates representing each party.
According to the Electoral Board, a total of 16 parties will compete in Huelva. The Partido Popular aims to strengthen its position and prevent vote leakage to the far-right, while the PSOE focuses on securing its traditional strongholds and destabilizing the popular party. Vox, experiencing growth after results in other regional elections, is also participating. On the left, Adelante Andalucía and Por Andalucía are running separately, vying to become the main reference in a fragmented scenario.
In addition to these forces, other candidacies include the local coalition Huelva Existe, formed by Mesa de la Ría and Amor por Huelva, as well as Andalucistas-Pueblo Andaluz, Poder Andaluz, Izquierda Anticapitalista Revolucionaria, Nación Andaluza, Se acabó la Fiesta (SALF), Pacma, Falange de la Jons, Por un Mundo más Justo, Partido Comunista del Pueblo Andaluz, and Escaños en Blanco.
In the 2022 Andalusian elections, the PP was the most voted party in Huelva, securing 90,000 votes and six of the 11 parliamentarians. For this contest, the popular party presents a continuous list, headed by the Minister of Social Inclusion, Loles López. She is followed by Manuel Andrés González Rivera, Berta Centeno García, Alejandro Romero Romero, Francisca María Rosa Crespo, Juan Antonio Márquez Lancha, Patricia Millán, Emiliano Cabot, Adriana Gómez Moyo, Ismael Mantero Álvarez, and Estefanía Martín Jiménez.
The PSOE, which obtained four parliamentarians and 58,000 votes in the last elections, presents María Márquez, deputy general secretary of the Andalusian PSOE, as its top candidate in Huelva. She is accompanied by Mario Jiménez and Macarena Robles in the second and third positions, followed by Francisco Baluffo, Susana Rivas, Rafael Domínguez, Asunción Ríos, Gisleño Núñez, Mónica Montano, Juan Diego Redondo, and María Ayala.
Vox aims to attract disgruntled PP voters to erode Juanma Moreno's absolute majority. In Huelva, their list is led by Rafael Segovia, who already secured a seat in the previous regional elections. He is accompanied by María Eiberle Sánchez de Toca, Raúl Molina Alcocer, Ana Díaz Cano, Fausto Andrés Fúnez, Amalia Ballester Goytia, Francisco José García Heredia, Jésica Longo López, Pablo Vinagre Márquez, María López Caro, and Gustavo Arduan Galdames.
Although Por Andalucía did not secure any parliamentarians for Huelva in 2022, it was the fourth most voted force. This coalition, which includes Izquierda Unida, Movimiento Sumar, Podemos, Iniciativa del Pueblo Andaluz, Verdes Equo, Alternativa Republicana, and Alianza Verde, has chosen teacher José Antonio Jiménez (IPA) as its top candidate. He is followed by Carmen Contreras Castellano (IU), David F. Calderón (IU), Laura Chamorro (IU), Hermes Gómez (Podemos), Celia Ruiz (Somos Valverde), José Luis Borrero (Podemos), Ana Real (IU), Carlos García (IU), María Ángeles Dolores Alves (IU), and Manuel Mestre (Podemos).
For its part, Adelante Andalucía presents trade unionist María del Carmen García Bueno as its first candidate in Huelva. She is accompanied by José Luis Bersabé Casado, Ángela González Moyo, Rafael José Vélez Aibar, Rosa Elizabeth Tortosa Alonso, Juan Jesús Alcón Villalba, María de la Cinta Díaz Montes, Javier Jesús Beltrán Castaño, María Dolores Moreno García, Jesús Amador Zambrano, and Juana María Fernández Mora.
The local coalition Huelva Existe, a novelty in these elections, is led by José Antonio Cabrera Ramírez (Amor por Huelva). The list is completed by Eva María Romero Montilla (Mesa de la Ría), Francisco Rengel y Ortiz (AxH), Susana Martín (Independent), Rafael Gavilán Hernández (MR), María Dolores Domínguez Pérez (Independent), Rogelio Rodríguez Martín (MR), Belén María Martín Suárez (AxH), Antonio Fernández Regidor (AxH), Carmen Garrido Roque (MR), and Francisco José Romero Montilla (MR).
The remaining formations, with the exception of Andalucistas-Pueblo Andaluz, which presents professor Julia Rodríguez as its top candidate, have registered their candidacies but have not yet formalized their candidates. These include Poder Andaluz, Izquierda Anticapitalista Revolucionaria, Nación Andaluza, Se acabó la Fiesta (SALF), Pacma, Falange de la Jons, Por un Mundo más Justo, Partido Comunista del Pueblo Andaluz, and Escaños en Blanco.
The election campaign, set to begin on May 1, is expected to be brief but intense. Healthcare and infrastructure will be the main topics of political debate in the province of Huelva, which, despite electing only 11 parliamentarians, could play a crucial role in shaping the Andalusian political landscape.
