Imanol Pradales and Bakartxo Tejeria are proposed candidates for Lehendakari and President of the Basque Parliament. Arantza Tapia, Josu Erkoreka, Joseba Egibar, José Antonio Suso or Iñigo Iturrate remain outside the lists, where Markel Olano or Nerea Melgosa do appear.
He Euzkadi Buru Batzar sent to his this afternoon membership are proposal of candidatesarranged and arranged in alphabetical order, which will integrate the lists that EAJ-PNV will present in each of the three territories of the BAC in the 2024 elections for the Basque Parliament.
The EBB has therefore started the first round of an internal process calling on all Jeltzal members to propose and elect candidates. This process ends on January 27 with approval of the final lists, already arranged in order of departure, in the context of a Extraordinary National Assembly.
The EBB presents its proposal Imanol Pradales Gil as a candidate for Lehendakari Bakartxo Tejeria Otermin as a candidate for the presidency of the Basque Parliament.
In Alava the PNV is carrying out a revolution. None of the current PNV parliamentarians for this area repeat. The list was at the top Inigo Urkullu in 2020 and will not repeat itself José Antonio Suso chairman of Araba Buru Batzar.In Bizkaia, does not repeat any of the top three of the 2020 listsFor example Iñigo Iturrate. It is known that the first position is occupied by the candidate for lehendakari Imanol Pradales.
In Gipuzkoa the president of Gipuzkoa Buru Batzar Joseba Egibar has, by his own decision, as confirmed by EITB Media, decided to end his time in parliament. Anyway, Gipuzkoa is still the area with the least changes. The numbers one and two of 2020, Bakartxo Tejeria and María Eugenia Arrizabalaga, repeat their candidacy. It remains to be seen whether Tejería himself, who is proposed by the PNV as a candidate to continue presiding over parliament, will be at the top of the list; or the former general deputy of the area Markel Olano.
Among those not on the lists are councilors Tapia or Erkoreka
Arantza Tapia and Josu Erkoreka, two councilors who were parliamentarians do not appear on lists. In 2020, Arantxa Tapia was fourth on the list ahead of Gipuzkoa and Josu Erkoreka was second on the list ahead of Bizkaia.
The one who does enter, in her case in Álava, is the Minister of Equality, Justice and Social Policy Nerea Melgosa. It is not known whether he will be the head of the list for this area, but he is the most recognizable face of the PNV leadership’s proposal for Álava.
