At around 2 a.m, SDSM’s President Zoran Zaev, held a press conference and announced that the “Mozheme” (We Can) coalition has a “convincing and stable advantage of more than three seats over VMRO-DPMNE”. He said there is a possibility for that difference to increase either by one or two seats more.
“The people’s will was confirmed. We are winning. The citizens have come out and voted for a safer future, for unity and solidarity, for economic patriotism, for order and justice,” said Zaev, further stressing that “the road ahead was confirmed and we said clear “No” to the danger.”
Even though VMRO-DPMNE’s party leader Hristijan Mickoski didn’t hold a press conference to comment on the election results, the party’s General Secretary Igor Janushev announced that the party will join the race to form a government.
