Already before the municipal elections of 2023, the Sevillian PP had tried to integrate Fernández Oviedo into its ranks, as he did in cases like that of the current mayor of Utrera, Francisco Jiménez, former first mayor of the AP; and the advisor of Almadén de la Plata, José Carlos Raigadawho belonged to Ciudadanos after joining the already ruined Orange formation after leading the local independent party in his municipality.
But he first mayor of La Campana He chose not to accept the PP’s proposal, probably believing that with the initials of said party he would not retain the absolute majority he already had at the time.

And it is that after the municipal elections of 2023, which resulted in a notable rise of the PP by wresting from the PSOE town halls of such magnitude as those of the Seville capital Utrera, Écija or San Juan de Aznalfarache, The socialists lost their absolute majority in the Provincial Council, currently chaired by Javier Fernández, general secretary of the Sevillian PSOE and mayor of La Rinconada; through a programmatic agreement with the IU deputies who make up the Con Andalucía group.
