The 37-year-old deputy, Pablo Casado, was elected new leader of the Partido Popular (PP). He received 57% of the vote at the Spanish Conservative Party Congress on Saturday.
Casado's rival, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, accounted for 42% of the vote. Casado replaces Mariano Rajoy at the top of the party. Rajoy is a party leader since 2004 and prime minister since 2011, until he was overthrown and replaced by socialist Pedro Sanchez in early June by a vote of no confidence

The Partido Popular has been dealing with corruption scandals for years, and many of high rank Members have lawsuits, which also cost party votes.
