MADRID (Reuters) -Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez intends to run for re-election in 2027 at the end of his current term, he said on Wednesday, despite the corruption investigations his government is facing.

Sanchez, a Socialist, heads a minority leftist coalition government embroiled in a series of scandals, which have led the opposition to demand his resignation.

"Yes, I am determined to run in the next general election in 2027," Sanchez told reporters after a question on whether he thought his government had the support of a majority of the population.

Sanchez said on June 12 he would not call new elections before his current term is due to end despite the scandals ensnaring his party.

Police entered the party's headquarters on Friday to copy the emails of Santos Cerdan, a close ally of Sanchez's, who had resigned a week earlier after a police report on alleged kickbacks was released.

The Cerdan case was the latest and most serious of a series of scandals that have left Sanchez having to fend off calls from opponents for snap elections.
