Madrid, Nov 12 (TIWN) The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) of acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has won most of the seats in the country's fourth general election, but fell short of a majority while right-wing parties made major gains, it was reported on Monday.

The conservative Popular Party (PP) came in second, and far-right Vox more than doubled its seats to become the country's third most-powerful party.  This is Spain's fourth general election in as many years.  A previous vote in April ended with no clear majority, and the Socialists failed to form a coalition government.
