Kosovo’s two major opposition parties — the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and Vetevendosje — appear to have upended the ruling party, in power for 12 years, during snap parliamentary elections held on October 6.
With nearly 96 percent of the ballots counted as of 3:56 a.m. local time on October 7, the website of the Central Election Commission showed the leftist-nationalist Vetevendosje (Self-Determination) party garnered nearly 26 percent of the vote, followed by the center-right LDK getting 25 percent.
