How did the results of political parties change from 2021?

Once the election campaign was launched, the ruling party officials's words were huge, even larger numbers.

The Vetevendosje movement set the ambitious target of 500 thousand votes -- a goal that, in theory, might seem accessible to the party that once mobilised hundreds of pledges for change.

But in reality after a full mandate, characterized by inflation that eroded citizens' purchasing power, this figure was considered by widespread public opinion more as a political illusion than a tangible electoral threshold.

After the ballot boxes closed and the count ended, the reality gave us a completely different picture: 396 thousand votes for VV a significant decline in support compared to the 2021 elections.

With this result, the Vetevendosje coalition- Guxo-Alernative secured 48 seats in the Kosovo Assembly, garnering about 400,000 votes less than in previous elections.

Despite the result, for Prime Minister Albin Kurti, the result marked an undisputed <x0fitt” a statement that sounded more like an attempt to keep the multi-explored government success coster.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Kosovo climbed by about 3.46 percentage points compared to 2021, bringing the total number of votes to over 196 thousand and securing 24 seats in the Parliament.

The party's prime ministerial candidate, Bedri Hamza, read it as a citizens' refusal to a second term of Kurti.

We will not be included in any coalition with the Vetevendosje Movement. We have big differences. They want absolute power. They don't even have a programme, and during the campaign, Hamza has declared himself at the debate studios”.

Four years ago, this party scored one of the worst results, receiving only 148 thousand votes.

Meanwhile, the Democratic League of Kosovo experienced an electoral rebirth.

In 2021, this party had received only 111,000 votes, marking one of the worst results in its history.

Four years later, the LDK grew by 5.6 percentage points. Its leader, Lumir Abdixhiku, although acknowledging that the result was not the desired one, sééée concealed enthusiasm for the regeneration, writes Nacionale.

No, we didn't get the intended result. No, we didn't change the sequence that seemed to have been predetermined. That's why I'm in charge! But, yeah, we grew up! And that's for 70 thousand votes! Never! For all seven more deputies! ” he wrote among others days ago on Facebook.

While the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo marked perhaps the most unexpected result in this election.

The AAK, though receiving about 66 thousand votes -- or 7.07% of the electorate -- a figure similar to that of 2021 -- this time, unlike past elections, was not alone in the race, but as part of a coalition with the Initiative.

Haradinaj said after the elections that the outcome has been very serious.

The result for me is disappointing, we've experienced very hard. We never believed that under 10 to 12 percent we would be. We worked hard, we worked hard on structures, it was a big deal. Now why is that? A little hard to believe. We could say we've been very much in the face of this government, with a direct approach, probably even the counterattacks have been directly at us”, he said.
