Elections in Kosovo, CEC: Counting of votes for candidates for deputies begins

The Central Election Commission (CEC) announced that the counting of votes for candidates for deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo from this weekend's parliamentary elections will begin tomorrow, February 11.

CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi told Radio Free Europe that, at the same time, the results of political entities from these elections will also be verified.

Elezi said that after the completion of these procedures, the CEC will begin counting votes outside Kosovo, conditional votes, and votes from people with special needs. Over 104,000 voters registered to vote outside Kosovo in these elections.

In the February 9 elections, 1,280 candidates from 28 political parties competed to be elected to the 120-seat Assembly.

Meanwhile, when over 99 percent of the votes for political entities alone were counted, the ruling party, the Vetëvendosje Movement, won 40.81 percent of the votes, according to the CEC.

Of the opposition parties, the Democratic Party of Kosovo won 22.16 percent of the votes, while the Democratic League of Kosovo secured 17.60 percent of the votes.

The coalition between the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and NISMA won 7.46 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, the Serbian List – the largest party of Kosovo Serbs, won 4.43 percent of the vote.

The February 9 elections were the first regular elections that Kosovo has held since declaring independence.

Observers said the elections were peaceful, with some irregularities, but no major incidents.

The turnout was 40.59 percent of over 1.9 million eligible voters in Kosovo. Previously, the diaspora also voted for these elections, through the mail, but also physically at several Kosovo diplomatic missions around the world.

There were 28 political entities and one independent candidate in the race for the new 120-seat composition of the Kosovo Assembly, an institution that will then elect the new executive. /REL/
