Because neither of the most notable candidates in Slovenia received enough support to win in a direct election on Sunday, they will face off again in a runoff election the following month.
Angie Logar, a leader in the right-wing political movement who formerly held the position of foreign minister in the previous administration, will take on the independent candidate Natasha Burke Mozar on November 13 in a rematch.
The National Elections Committee said that after sorting 99. 39% of the votes, Lujar tops after receiving 33.
Mozar replaced a second by receiving 26. 89% of the votes, receiving 92.2% of the total.
Lujar promised, among other things, “not tolerance of corruption” on Sunday night.
It was clear that none of the seven candidates for the position of the president- a large and symbolic position- would not achieve the necessary majority after the sorting of most voters on Sunday evening in the country in central Europe.
The center-left administration of Prime Minister Robert Julboub, who assumed office in May, was let down by the elections. With 15.43% of the vote, presidential candidate Milan Berlies, who is supported by the Julboub Freedom Movement, finished third.
Julboub at a late Sunday evening indicated that he would support Burke Mozar in the second round.
One of the first tests for Juloub, who succeeded right-wing national leader Yaniz Yancha in May, was the presidential elections.
Critics charge that Yancha, who held the position of prime minister for three terms, wished to curtail media freedom and does not respect democratic principles or the rule of law in the EU member state. The political outsider Julboub overthrew it in the spring’s legislative elections.
Slovenia’s presidential elections are likely to be rerun.
