Initial results show Prime Minister Kurti’s party won most votes in early election in Kosovo
Preliminary results show Vetevendosje with about 43% of votes as parties remain deadlocked over forming a government.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party, Vetevendosje, led Kosovo's early parliamentary election with around 43% of the vote, state election authorities reported after counting nearly 90% of ballots cast.
- This vote marks Kosovo's third election in less than 18 months, scheduled after political parties failed to reach a March deadline agreement on who should replace former President Vjosa Osmani.
- Voter turnout dropped to 36.3% on Sunday, down from nearly 45% in December, while opposition parties accused Kurti of seeking to impose full control over all political institutions.
- The political stalemate has delayed access to European Union funds, prompting European Council President António Costa to urge Kosovo to end the deadlock and focus on EU integration goals during a visit last week.
- It remains unclear whether the outcome will resolve Kosovo's impasse, as the new assembly requires at least 80 lawmakers to elect a president and form a functioning government.
