SDSM to hold leadership elections in June following Kovachevski’s resignation 

Skopje, 23 May 2024 (MIA) - At its session Wednesday, SDSM’s Executive Board obliged the party's Central Election Commission to propose deadlines for the holding of direct intraparty elections in June.

“Since, in line with the Statute, the elected Central Election Commission still has a mandate, it will implement the procedure for new direct interparty leadership elections in the same composition. The Executive Board obliged the Central Election Commission to propose a rulebook with deadlines for the holding of intraparty elections in June, in a transparent and democratic procedure,” SDSM said in a press release.

Dimitar Kovachevski confirmed his resignation from the post of SDSM leader at the session and initiated the holding of a party congress.

“The members of the Executive Board, as well as the members of the SDSM leadership, the deputy leader, the vice presidents, secretary general, organizational secretary, secretary for international cooperation, have resigned from their posts. At the same time, the members of the Central Board are being urged to follow the example as a moral act of responsibility,” the press release said.
