Kosovo elections: ruling Vetevendosje party loses majority, initial results show Result means prime minister Albin Kurti’s leftwing party will have to form a coalition.
Kosovo’s ruling Vetevendosje party was on track to win the country’s parliamentary election, but will need to negotiate a coalition with other parties to form a government, exit polls and preliminary results showed.
Kurti, an Albanian nationalist, came to power in 2021 when a coalition run by the Vetevendosje party received more than 50% of votes and secured a seven-seat majority in the 120-seat parliament.
“We are the first party, the winning party that will create the next government,” Kurti told reporters.
