Gerardo Pisarello, the current first secretary of the Congress of Deputies and a deputy of Comuns, has won the primaries to be the candidate for Barcelona en Comú (BComú) in the upcoming local elections. With 68.6% of the votes, Pisarello significantly surpassed his opponent Bob Pop, who received 27%. The election results were confirmed by the party's electoral committee, which gathered to review and announce the preliminary results after two days of internal voting.

The electoral process saw a total of 1,046 votes cast for Pisarello and his running mate Carol Recio, while Bob Pop, a well-known humorist, had 412 votes supporting his candidacy alongside Mar Trallero. The reporting indicates the intrigue and competitive nature of the primaries, reflecting the strong support for Pisarello within the party. Notably, there were also 67 blank votes, accounting for 4.4% of the total votes, which could indicate some dissent or lack of consensus among party members.

While these results are still provisional and the party regulations allow for a day of claims and objections, the outcome positions Pisarello as a significant candidate in the political landscape of Barcelona. His win marks a transition from former mayor Ada Colau's leadership and opens up discussions about the future policies and direction of Barcelona en Comú heading into the local elections, particularly in addressing key issues that the voters of Barcelona face.
