Mañueco was also wary that the Cs internal crisis, which had seen a number of defections from the party, could see a successful motion of no confidence being mounted on him once the PSOE was be able to table a new censure motion in March 2022, one year after a previous, unsuccessful one.[2] In October 2021, it was hinted that Mañueco was considering an election to be held on either 28 November or 12 December,[12] though it later transpired that an election in the spring of 2022 was more likely.[13] Speculation on an early election in Andalusia,[4] coupled with possible snap elections in other regions—such as Aragon or the Valencian Community[14]—initially hinted at a possible simultaneous electoral call,[15] but Andalusian president Juan Manuel Moreno's announcement on 30 November that an election in Andalusia would not be held sooner than June 2022 meant that any prospective Castilian-Leonese snap election would be held earlier.[16] This was finally confirmed on 20 December 2021 when Mañueco announced a snap election for 13 February 2022.[8]
