Kosovo Legislative Elections: A Shift in Political Landscape
Kosovo held legislative elections on February 14, 2024, resulting in a critically important victory for the Self-Determination Movement (Vetëvendosje) led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti. The elections were largely seen as a test of Kurti’s government and a potential pathway to resolving a year-long political deadlock. While final results are still being tallied,early indications point to Vetëvendosje maintaining its dominant position,though possibly requiring coalition partners to govern effectively.
Key Results and Analysis
The Self-Determination Movement (Vetëvendosje) secured a substantial portion of the vote, demonstrating continued public support for Prime Minister Kurti’s policies. However, the party may not achieve an outright majority, necessitating coalition talks. The democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) are expected to be key players in these negotiations. The election also saw participation from minority parties representing Kosovo’s Serbian population, whose representation is crucial for ensuring inclusivity.
| Party | Estimated Vote Share (%) | Projected Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Determination Movement (Vetëvendosje) | ~30-35% | ~48-52 |
| Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) | ~24-28% | ~36-40 |
| Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) | ~15-20% | ~22-28 |
| Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) | ~8-12% | ~12-16 |
