The Student List won the Serbian snap elections held on October 25
The Student List, a movement formed following protests in Novi Sad, won the snap elections in Serbia with 52.7% of the vote. According to provisional results, the movement will hold 138 of the 250 seats in the national parliament. The alliance Serbia United, led by former President Aleksandar Vucic, received 39.2% of the vote and will hold 104 seats. No other participating parties surpassed the 3% threshold.
Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest recorded since 1992. Following the preliminary results, President Vucic admitted defeat on television, though he stated the student campaign was unfair and full of lies. He added that he would not make concessions to the opposition but recognized the victory of the students.
Academic and candidate Radomir Saicic represented the Student List, stating the result rewards nearly two years of struggle. It remains uncertain who will lead the new government.
