Skopje, 13 May 2024 (MIA) — The State Election Commission at its Monday session is expected to review and decide on the 27 complaints lodged by parties after the parliamentary elections.

Nine of the complaints were lodged by the Vredi Coalition, eight by VMRO-DPMNE, five by SDSM and four by Levica.

State Election Commission president Aleksandar Dashtevski previously said these were group complaints involving several polling stations.

Earlier, the DUI-led European Front coalition said the aim of the complaints claiming irregularities at polling stations in the Fifth and Sixth Electoral Districts was to take away two of their parliamentary seats.

"Other political parties, based on an unprincipled political deal dismissing the citizens' will, have lodged Fifth and Sixth Electoral District polling station complaints in an orchestrated way although not a single irregularity was determined during the electoral process and after its completion," the European Front's election headquarters chief Arber Ademi said Sunday.

"Their goal is clear – they want to take away two parliamentary seats from the European Front, even though they were simply the result of the citizens' will and their free expression," Ademi added.

According to the preliminary results released by SEC, VMRO-DPMNE's Your Macedonia coalition won 58 seats in the parliamentary elections, DUI’s European Front coalition won 19 seats, SDSM’s Coalition for European Future won 18, the Worth It coalition won 13, and ZNAM and Levica won 6 seats each. mr/
