PDK wins elections, opposition fails (Koha Ditore)
The paper reports on the front page that the Central Election Commission announced preliminary results showing the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) in first place with 30.94%, followed by the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) with 26.29%. The data came from 90 percent of polling stations. The New Kosovo Alliance (AKR), which was part of the coalition government with the PDK, failed to cross the 5 percent threshold. Vetevendosje, led by Albin Kurti, secured around 14 percent and the Haradinaj-led Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) received 10 percent. The Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), a new political party that broke away from the PDK, managed to become part of the next parliament with less than 6 percent. The paper notes that the PDK announced its victory three hours after polling stations were closed.
