Albin Kurti’s Vetevendosje won nearly 44% of the vote, according to early results, but fell short of a majority, setting the stage for potentially difficult coalition talks
Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s party took a large lead in a snap election Sunday marked by low turnout, winning most of the votes but not enough to govern alone, preliminary results showed.
In Kosovo’s third election in just over a year, Kurti’s Vetevendosje party won nearly 44% of the vote, according to early results with around one-third of ballots counted.
But it falls short of the previous election in December, when the party garnered 51%.
It is not enough to allow Vetevendosje to form the next government on its own, suggesting difficult coalition talks ahead.
