The Kosovo Central Election Commission (KQZ) announced that in the early general elections held on June 7, the Vetevendosje movement led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti came first with 47.13 percent of the vote. Additionally, the Kosovo Democratic Turkish Party (KDTP) won two seats in parliament with 0.70 percent of the vote.
PRIME MINISTER'S PARTY COMES FIRST
The results of the early general elections held on June 7 in Kosovo have been announced. According to data shared by the Kosovo Central Election Commission (KQZ), the Vetevendosje movement led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti became the leading party.
The Kosovo Democratic Turkish Party (KDTP), the party of Kosovar Turks, won two seats, securing representation in parliament.
According to official data, Vetevendosje, led by current Prime Minister Albin Kurti, received 47.13 percent of the votes, emerging as the leading party in the elections. The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) received 19.44 percent, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) 16.69 percent, and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) 6.74 percent of the votes. The Kosovo Democratic Turkish Party (KDTP), representing the Turkish community, won two seats with 0.70 percent of the vote.
VETEVENDOSJE SECURED 53 DEPUTIES
In the elections, along with KDTP General President Fikrim Damka, 21-year-old Fatma Taçi was elected as a deputy. KDTP General President Damka had failed to enter parliament in the December 2025 elections, but this time, by heading the list, he managed to enter the 120-seat parliament. In the distribution of seats in parliament, Vetevendosje secured 53 deputies, PDK 22, LDK 18, and AAK 7 deputies. Out of the 20 seats reserved for non-majority communities, the Serbian List won 9, and KDTP won 2. The remaining seats were distributed among other political parties, each receiving one deputy position.
COALITION TALKS EXPECTED TO BEGIN
With the finalization of the election results, coalition talks are expected to begin to form a new government in the country. At least 61 votes are required to form a government in the 120-seat parliament.
For Vetevendosje to form a government, forming a coalition with community parties, including KDTP, would be sufficient. However, due to the two-thirds majority requirement for electing a new president, it will also need to engage in negotiations with PDK, LDK, and AAK.
Elections have been held frequently in Kosovo in recent years. Following the general elections in February 2025, early elections were held in December 2025. Vetevendosje had formed the government after receiving 51.1 percent of the vote in the December 2025 elections and secured a vote of confidence from parliament on February 11, 2026. However, after the party failed to reach an agreement with other parties on the largely symbolic presidency candidacy, parliament was dissolved in April, and Kosovo Assembly Speaker Albulena Haxhiu, who was acting as president, called for early elections.
