Spain's ruling conservatives narrowly win election
Julien Toyer

Madrid: The People's Party (PP) of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy won Spain's general election on Sunday, exit polls showed, although it will have to rely on other parties if it is to govern for another four-year term.

The PP is seen winning between 114 and 124 seats in the 350-strong parliament, 52 to 62 seats short of the 176 seats needed for an absolute majority.

That points to a stalemate that analysts agree would probably disrupt an economic reform program that has helped pull Spain - the fifth-largest economy in the 28-nation EU - out of recession and eroded a still sky-high unemployment rate.
