Background

Since the start of the campaign, and especially in November 2022, polling for mayor had consistently placed the current mayor, Zoran Janković, clearly in the lead, with 55-60 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, the candidate of Slovenia's biggest party by member size – the SDS, were well behind, as were the other candidates politician Nataša Sukič, and political activist Aleš Primc. [1]

The first round of the mayoral election, held on 20 November 2022, was convincingly won by the current mayor Zoran Janković (with 61.83%), left-wing politician Nataša Sukič finished a distant second (with 9.61%). Furthermore, this was Janković's second worst ever result by number of votes, placing just ahead of mayoral elections in 2014.[ citation needed ]

Meanwhile, in the Assembly election, the Zoran Janković List won 18 of out the 45 seats, and later entered into a coalition with the centre-left Freedom Movement, which won 8 seats.[ citation needed ]
