Baraliu: Run-off in many municipalities expected to reverse outcome

The results of the October 12th elections have brought close results in most municipalities, where 17 of them will go to the runoff. Policy-field recognisers are praising that the run-off in many municipalities is expected to reverse the results of the first party, as there is expected to be agreements among political parties, despite the fact that this co-operation is lacking at the central level.

In the mayoral run-off, to be held on November 9th, the outcome of the first winner, given the practices of past elections, is expected to be reversed in many municipalities. That's how they value political connoisseurs in the country. Mazlum Baraliu told Kosovo Radio that in the past there have been frequent cases of coalitions, which for citizens can be very unnatural.

The “is likely to have a collapse of the results of the first party to have emerged from the October 12th elections. These cases are frequent, and certainly there will be elections, as most municipalities are going to the runoff and there are expected to be specific agreements, specific coalitions of political parties. These agreements and coalitions can be unimaginable and unnatural, and can sometimes be made for the purposes of political subjects”, he said.

Of the 38 municipalities in Kosovo, 21 have closed the mayoral race since the first round of local elections held on 12 October, while another 17 municipalities will go to the runoff on 9 November.
