EHAK communist party supporters celebrate at rally after regional election results were announced in Bilbao, northern Spain. Supporters of EHAK, Communist Party of the Basque Lands, celebrate at a rally after Basque regional election results were anounced in Bilbao, northern Spain, April 17, 2005. Only nine days ago the outlawed Batasuna party directed its voters to support EHAK, who are running in their first election and did not expect to win any seats until getting the support of Batasuna. EHAK won nine parliamentary seats. Basque premier Juan Jose Ibarretxe's moderate Basque Nationalist Party won their eighth straight parliamentary election since 1980 while falling to 29 seats from 33 in the 75-seat legislature.
