2021 primary election
Following the party's bad results at the 2021 regional election, José Manuel Franco handed in his resignation as Secretary-General in May 2021.[4] The PSOE's federal executive committee ensuingly appointed a PSOE–M managing committee led by Isaura Leal.[5] Three pre-candidates tried to collect enough endorsements to run in the primary election to the post of Secretary–General: Eva Llarandi (PSOE's Secretary General in Paracuellos), Javier Ayala (Mayor of Fuenlabrada), and Juan Lobato (former Mayor of Soto del Real).[6]
