Slovenians vote as anti-immigrant party sees strong support

Polls close at 7 pm. First results expected hours later

03 June, 09:24
(AP-ANSA) - LJUBLJANA, 3 JUN - Slovenians are voting in a parliamentary election with polls predicting that an anti-immigrant party will win the most votes but not enough to form a government on its own.

The ballot Sunday is an election called a few weeks earlier than the regular four-year span following the sudden resignation in March of outgoing Prime Minister Miro Cerar over a failed railway project.

The right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party of former Prime Minister Janez Jansa has seen strong support ahead of the ballot, followed by an anti-establishment party led by ex-comedian Marjan Sarec and several moderate groups from the outgoing ruling coalition. Polls close at 7 pm. First results expected hours later.(AP-ANSA).
