The Central Elections Commission in Kosovo has announced the final results of the country’s local elections, held on October 17 in all 38 communes, with the purpose of electing mayors and municipal councils.
The three parties that received the most votes are as follows:
- Democratic Alliance of Kosovo (LDK) – 170.177 votes
- Self-determination Movement (LVV) – 167.519 votes
- Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) – 161.283 votes
The race was tightest amongst mail-in votes coming in from the diaspora, where the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo (LDK) went head-to-head with the Self Determination Movement (LVV).
Based on the conclusive data, 21 communes will be heading to runoffs, because their candidates weren’t able to secure the necessary number of votes, required to pass the first round of voting. LVV will be heading to runoffs in 12 communes, LDK in 9 communes, PDK in 8, and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) in 5 communes.
According to the Local Elections Law, the second round of voting between the two most voted candidates should be held on Sunday, November 14 – exactly 4 weeks after the first round.
Local elections were held on October 17. CEC had certified 89 political subjects to participate in the elections, of which 32 political parties, 1 collation, 33 civil initiatives and 23 independent candidates.
