A member of the People's Party, and the vice-secretary of communication and spokeswoman of the party's Madrilenian branch,[2] she was the regional candidate for president of the Community of Madrid ahead of the 2019 Madrilenian autonomous election.[3][4] Although her party lost the autonomous elections for the first time since May 1991, she was later elected president by the Assembly of Madrid. Her administration represented several firsts: it was the first time that the region was run by a coalition government—formed by Ayuso's own conservative People's Party (PP) and Citizens—and it was the first time that Vox propped up an autonomous executive in Madrid.[5]
