In the Slovenian national elections, Prime Minister Janez Jansa lost the Freedom Movement. The Environmentalist party, the Freedom Movement, received more votes than Jansa’s SDS party, the first figures released by election officials.
Although Jansa had high hopes of winning and running for a fourth term, he admitted he had lost. However, he added that his SDS party had received more votes than it had. Jansa said while talking to his fans he welcomes the results. Congratulations to the winner.
As expected, the election was very close. But early official figures showed that the Freedom Movement party, which first ran in the election, led by 34.34% of the vote. This was more than expected. SDS received 23.83% based on 98.20% of the votes counted.
As a result, the Freedom Movement, which was campaigning for sustainable power, the rule of law and an open society, will receive 40 seats in the 90-seat parliament and the SDS will receive 28 seats.
An estimated 1.7 Million voters in the small Alpine country of NATO and the European Union voted, resulting in 68% of the vote, according to the electoral commission.
This is beyond measure, experts say.
According to Peter Merse, a political analyst, the Freedom Movement won the election. He said Slovenia is also open to exploring new faces and these faces that people have heard of before.
The Freedom Movement is led by Robert Golob, a former head of a state-owned energy company that launches green power projects. The Freedom Movement was formed last year.
