Election results in Montenegro: the former opposition has every chance to form a government
The State Election Commission (DIK) of Montenegro has published the final results of the parliamentary elections in the country.
The ruling Democratic Party of Socialists of Milo Djukanovic and its allies still do not have the votes to form a government.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, after 100% of the ballots have been counted, the data on the parliamentary elections in Montenegro last Sunday look like this: the block “Decisively for Montenegro! Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) – Milo Djukanovic” – 35,06% (143 thousand 548 votes); opposition pro-Serbian and pro-Russian coalition “For the Future of Montenegro” - 32,55% (133 thousand 267 votes); its ally – the “Peace is our nation” bloc – 12,53 (51 thousand 297 votes); another representative of the opposition bloc, the multicultural platform “From Black to White” - 5,53% (22 thousand 649 votes); “Social Democrats” - 4,10% (12 thousand 839 votes); Bosniak Party - 3,98% (16 thousand 286 votes); Social Democratic Party – “Strong Montenegro” – 3,14 (12 thousand 839 votes); “Albanian List” – 1,58% (6 thousand 488 votes); Albanian coalition “Unanimous” – 1,14% (4 thousand 675 votes).
Both Croatian parties, which, like other ethnic minority parties, the regime counted on - the Croatian Civic Initiative and the Croatian Reformist Party - were unable to overcome the one percent barrier and will not be represented in the Montenegrin Assembly.
In total, 76,65% of voters voted in the last parliamentary elections; out of 413 thousand 954 ballots cast, 409 thousand 451 were recognized as valid.
Thus, even before the elections, the formed coalition of “For the Future of Montenegro”, “Peace is our Nation” and “Black on White” potentially has 41 mandates, which gives it the right to form a parliamentary majority and government.
However, it is already clear that the Djukanovic regime will not give up so easily
