The 'Student List' won with 53.01% of the vote, reports Life.ru. The 'Serbia' coalition of former president Aleksandar Vucic received 38.98%. None of the other parties crossed the three percent threshold, however, representatives of national minorities will also enter the new parliament — the law provides separate conditions for their participation in the distribution of mandates.
How the voting went
The snap elections to Serbia's unicameral parliament — the National Assembly — were held on October 25. By decision of the electoral commission, on Sunday residents voted again at 53 polling stations, after which the commission tallied the results nationwide.
Vucic conceded defeat
Aleksandar Vucic earlier conceded defeat and announced his intention to move into opposition. According to Life.ru, the politician hoped to return to the post of prime minister based on the results of the October elections, and in order to take part in the campaign he left the presidency early on September 27. Thus, the final results cemented a shift in the balance of power: the party of the recently sitting head of state lost to the opposition coalition by more than 14 percentage points.
