The People's Party (PP) held its 16th national congress in Valencia from 20 to 22 June 2008, to renovate its governing bodies—including the post of president, which amounted to that of party leader—and establish the party platform and policy until the next congress. It saw Mariano Rajoy being re-elected unopposed for a second term as party president, with 84.2% of the delegate vote in the congress (2,187 votes) and 15.8% of blank ballots (409).{{cite news |date=6 May 2008 |title=Rajoy es ya el único aznarista al mando |language=es |url=https://elpais.com/diario/2008/05/06/espana/1210024801_850215.html |newspaper=El País |access-date=18 March 2022}}{{cite news |last=Rojo |first=Iratxe |date=21 June 2008 |title=Rajoy, reelegido presidente del PP pese a no tener el apoyo del 21% de los compromisarios |url=https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2008/06/21/espana/1214081240.html |language=es |newspaper=El Mundo |location=Valencia |access-date=12 May 2025}}{{cite news |date=17 February 2012 |title=Así fue el congreso más amargo de Rajoy |url=https://elpais.com/politica/2012/02/17/actualidad/1329481969_207243.html |language=es |newspaper=El País |access-date=18 March 2022}}{{cite web |last=Lozano |first=Carles |url=https://www.historiaelectoral.com/pp.html |title=Alianza Popular / Partido Popular |language=es |website=Historia Electoral.com |access-date=16 March 2023}}
Overview
The congress of the PP was the party's supreme body, and could be of either ordinary or extraordinary nature, depending on whether it was held following the natural end of its term or due to any other exceptional circumstances not linked to this event. Ordinary congresses were to be held every three years and called at least two months in advance of their celebration. Extraordinary congresses had to be called by a two-thirds majority of the Board of Directors at least one-and-a-half month in advance of their celebration, though in cases of "exceptional urgency" this deadline could be reduced to 30 days.
The president of the PP was the party's head and the person holding the party's political and legal representation, and presided over its board of directors and executive committee, which were the party's maximum directive, governing and administration bodies between congresses. The election of the PP president was based on an indirect system, with party members voting for delegates who would, in turn, elect the president. Any party member was eligible for the post of party president, on the condition that they were up to date with the payment of party fees and were proposed by at least 20% of congress delegates.{{cite web |url=https://www.elimparcial.es/files/congresopp/EstatutosPP.pdf |title=Estatutos aprobados por el XV Congreso Nacional del Partido Popular |language=es |website=PP |access-date=18 March 2022}}
