The Vetëvendosje Movement led by Albin Kurti was voted in by only 40.8% of the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, about 9% less than in the previous parliamentary elections where it alone managed to receive 50.2% of the votes.
Translated into votes, about 99 thousand fewer votes than in 2021. This decline in Vetëvendosje is also noticeable in the capital.
In 2021 in Pristina, Vetëvendosje received 65% of the vote, while in 2025 it dropped to 46%. The same phenomenon occurred in Prizren, where although the figure was not very low, the percentage of votes still decreased.
Although they failed to become the winning party, the Democratic Party of Kosovo received more votes than in the previous parliamentary elections. With prime ministerial candidate Bedri Hamza, the PDK was able to win just over 22% of the votes of citizens who went to the ballot boxes on Sunday, February 9.
The Democratic League of Kosovo, which offered citizens the candidate for prime minister, Lumnir Abdixhiku, emerged as the third force in these elections, just like in 2021. Four years ago, it managed to receive 110,985 votes, while in 2025 it received about 35 thousand more votes.
An increasing trend in votes is observed for the two opposition parties LDK and PDK in areas such as Gjakova, Ferizaj, Prizren and Prishtina. For example, in Gjakova, LDK, from the 8% it received in the 2021 elections, won 16% of the votes of Kosovo citizens on Sunday, February 9.
The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, led by Ramush Haradinaj, came in fourth place, garnering only 7% of the vote, or 62,066 votes nationally. This opposition force has not seen an increase in votes compared to the previous elections.
According to Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, the Serbian List, which received 4.4% of the vote, has achieved an important victory for Serbia, although compared to the early local elections of 2021, Serbs managed to receive 5% of the vote in the Republic of Kosovo.
Nearly 7,623,000 fewer votes compared to the 2021 parliamentary elections. The electoral district of Leopsavic is led by the Serb list, but with a drop in votes. From 89% in 2021, it managed to win only 67% of the Serb votes, while Vetëvendosje in this area managed to increase in percentage of votes even though their influence is very small in this municipality.
Other opposition parties also had an upward trend. These preliminary results do not include conditional votes, votes from people with special needs, and votes from outside Kosovo.
This victory for Albin Kurti's party, which is aiming for another mandate at the head of the executive, this time does not have sufficient numbers to form the new government.
VV definitely needs a coalition with one of the opposition parties, but which have generally stated that they do not want cooperation, or with non-Serb minority parties. (A2 Televizion)
