24.02.2016
The leader of the centre-right Ciudadanos (Citizens) party, Albert Rivera, signed a pact with leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) Pedro Sanchez in Madrid on Wednesday, which backed the left-wing leader as the prime ministerial candidate.
The two leaders signed the agreement which sets out a five-point plan for constitutional reform which would allow Sanchez to seek parliamentary backing in a vote on March 2.
The PSOE have been campaigning to win over support from Ciudadanos in order to avoid an alliance with anti-austerity party Podemos.
Sanchez, nominated by Spanish King Felipe VI as a prime ministerial candidate, still requires support from additional groups. Unless he secures this backing or another solution is found, elections will be called in June.
