Kosovo elections

[Georg Ebner]

Local Elections were held yesterDay.
The Turkish and Serbish councils are mostly in, with no surprises, of course.
Those few of the Albanians, which are in, show VV remarkably weak (but they have also had not more than 2 mayors so far).

Perhaps You can get - different to me - some data out of their Elec.Commission?:

VV seems like it might be a cult of personality type party.

Certainly to some extent. But then they have more than that: The tumultous antiSystem-party, the White Elephant in the room (what had formerly been PDK - with the same success). Perhaps their  governing since they received 50% last spring has been so disillusional for their ex-supporters? Unfortunately i cannot find at wikipedia present-day OpinionPolls.
VV has already lost 1 of its 3 mayors to a recovered PDK; their hope can be, that they are in many RunOffs, but in most of them it will probably be them vs. the rest.

This is the % of councillors, not of votes, i think:

Mayoral RunOffs:

LVV and even more AAK underperformed, whereas PDK and especially LDK overperformed.
Of course, it were elections on personalities in few entities, so we shouldn't read too much into it.
