Slovenia: presidentials, run-off between Pahor and Šarec
Outgoing president almost won the game at first round
22 October, 21:13
(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 22 OTT - Run-off between Pahor and Šarec:
this is the result of presidential election today to elect new
Slovenian President, among nine candidates.
Pahor is the big favorite, as first round he ended at about 47% ; Marjan Sarec had about 25% consensus.
The run-off will take place on November 12, as new president will take place on December 23.
Turnout is 42,92% for 1.7 million voters. Slovenia's President Borut Pahor has acknowledged that a runoff vote will be necessary after the first round of balloting in the country's presidential election. Pahor was seeking re-election in the vote on Sunday. The initial vote count gives him the lead, but without the majority of votes needed to win a second term outright. With more than 90 percent of the votes counted, Pahor had 47 percent. His main opponent, Marjan Sarec received around 25 percent. Pahor says it appears a Nov. 12 runoff vote will be needed and he will "do my best to prove that I'm best choice. I'm glad for support that I got in first round." Sarec is a former comedian who is the mayor of the northern town of Kamnik. (ANSA).
