Spain's Mariano Rajoy, who acknowledged defeat as parliament was to vote through a no-confidence motion, said it had been an honour to serve as premier, winning a standing ovation from his conservative Popular Party

An absolute majority of 180 lawmakers voted for the motion, making Rajoy the first prime minister to be ousted in a no-confidence vote since Spain transitioned to democracy in 1977.
