MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Monday he would not seek to stay on as prime minister if his People's Party (PP) wasn't the most popular in the general election in December.

"If my party does not win the most votes, I won't try to be prime minister," Rajoy said during a press conference to close parliament before the election and formally call the election.
