Serbia’s former President Aleksandar Vučić concedes defeat in parliamentary election to student-led opposition
Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat in the October 25 snap parliamentary election.
Serbia's former President Aleksandar Vučić acknowledged defeat in the October 25 snap parliamentary election. According to an estimated sample, the "Student List" emerged victorious with 135 to 140 seats, while Vučić's party secured approximately 105. The student-led movement, formally established a month ago as a response to protests starting in 2024, secured this decisive win.
Upon conceding, Vučić's party headquarters echoed with celebratory sounds as residents across Serbia sang, honked car horns, and clapped through windows, marking a historic moment. It was Vučić's plan to step down as president in late September to serve as prime minister should he win the election.
