The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) held an extraordinary federal congress in Madrid from 26 to 27 July 2014, to renovate its governing bodies—including the post of secretary-general, which amounted to that of party leader. A primary election to elect the new party secretary-general was held on 13 July.
The congress was called by outgoing PSOE leader Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba after his party's poor results at the 2014 European Parliament election, garnering just 23% of the vote. Rubalcaba announced his intention not to run for either his party's leadership or for the 2015 Spanish general election.
