Kurti’s Party Leads Kosovo’s Second 2025 Election With About 49%

Whether the result breaks the prolonged political stalemate remains uncertain.

Overview

  • With 99% of votes counted, the Self-Determination Movement held roughly 49%, securing first place but falling short of a majority.
  • The December 28 vote was for Kosovo’s unicameral assembly with 120 seats.
  • It was the second parliamentary election of 2025 after the February vote failed to yield a governing coalition.
  • Opposition parties previously refused to enter a coalition with the ruling Self-Determination Movement, blocking the formation of a new cabinet.
  • The president ordered a new election in November in an effort to resolve the months-long impasse.
