The Vetëvendosje (VV, Self-determination, left) movement, led by Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti, has once again won the legislative elections held this Sunday, reaching 43.6% of the votes with more than 90% of the ballots already counted. The support obtained is clearly below the 51% achieved in the December 28 elections.
The current result is reminiscent of the February 2025 elections, when Kurti's party secured 42.3% of the votes. However, the Kosovar Parliament that emerged from that electoral event was unable to form a government, and due to the deadlock, it was necessary to repeat the elections in December.
Behind Kurti's list are the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), which totals 21.5% and improves its December result by one and a half points, and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), which reaches 17.97%, almost four points more than in the previous call. For its part, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo receives 7.23% support, according to the still provisional official data.
Before the results were released, Kurti demanded that the integrity of the vote and respect for the citizens' decision be guaranteed during the scrutiny. "The will of the citizens expressed in today's elections is within the ballot boxes and its protection is a necessary condition for the legitimacy and credibility of the electoral process," he stated on social media.
The leader also emphasized the role of those overseeing the vote. "At this moment, our eyes, ears, and attention are on you, commissioners and observers. You have a great and noble institutional responsibility on your shoulders," he added.
Kosovo's population has gone to the polls this Sunday for the third time in a year and a half in an attempt to unblock the institutional crisis that has been dragging on since February of last year, with a practically inoperative Parliament and without a fully established president, due to the deep disagreements between Kurti's party and the opposition of the PDK and the LDK.
