Despite this victory, the PSOE, CHA, and IU formed a coalition with their 16 councilors, achieving an absolute majority, which allowed Juan Alberto Belloch to remain the mayor.[4]

The People's Party was only the most voted party in two of its strongholds; Centro and Universidad (despite this, it had a drop of 15 and 17 percentage points respectively compared to the previous municipal elections), as well as in the districts of Delicias, San José, and the rural neighborhoods.[6]

On February 1, 2016, Eloy Suárez announced his resignation as spokesperson of the People's Party and his seat as a councilor in the Zaragoza City Council. He was succeeded by Jorge Azcón as the party's spokesperson in the Zaragoza City Council.[8]
