Skopje, 18 October 2021 (MIA) – According to processed data, mayors have been elected in 34 municipalities across North Macedonia. Of these, VMRO-DPMNE’s candidates won in 22 municipalities, SDSM’s in nine and DUI’s in three, State Election Commission (SEC) president Aleksandar Dashtevski said during a press briefing on Monday evening. In the second round, most municipalities will see a showdown between candidates from SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE, with the exception of seven municipalities where candidates from Alliance for Albanians and DUI will face off. In two municipalities, voters will choose between candidates from DUI and BESA in the runoff. Centar Zhupa and Mavrovo-Rostushe will redo the first round after failure to meet the prerequisite turnout of one third of registered voters, the SEC said.
