Meanwhile, pro-independence parties, Junts+ and Esquerra, battled it out over the second place, with Junts+ coming out on top with 35 seats followed by Esquerra Republicana with 20 seats.
In fourth place, the conservative People's Party won 15 seats, an increase compared to the last 3 representatives they obtained during the 2021 election.
Other parties that have won seats are far-right Vox (11 seats), left-wing coalition Comuns Sumar (6 seats), far-left pro-independence CUP (4 seats) and, for the first time, far-right pro-independence Aliança Catalana (2 seats).
