Kosovo's ruling party, Samoopredeljenje, has secured a decisive victory in the snap parliamentary elections, winning 47.13% of the vote and 53 seats. This outcome grants the party the ability to form a government without needing a coalition with other Albanian parties. However, the election of a president will still necessitate cross-party consensus.
Central Election Commission data, based on 100% of ballots counted, shows Srpska Lista, a party representing Kosovo Serbs, garnered 9.37% of the vote, translating to nine parliamentary seats. Another Serb list, 'For Freedom, Justice, and Survival,' obtained 1.17% and one mandate.
Other significant parties include the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) with 22 seats, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) with 18 seats, and Alternativa with seven seats. The results indicate a strong mandate for Samoopredeljenje, positioning it to lead the country's next government.
