The first unofficial results of the Center for Democratic Transition show that the Democratic Party of Socialists of the former president, Milo Djukanovic, secured the largest number of votes in the local elections in Podgorica.
Djukanovic's party received about 30 percent of the votes, winning 19 councilors in the Podgorica Assembly, which has 58 seats; The Europe Now Movement of Prime Minister Milojko Spajic and the Democrats won 14 seats, while the list of the President of Montenegro Jakov Milatovic and the Bridge Movement could not get more than 6 seats.
The parties of the former pro-Russian Democratic Front and the pro-Serbian Socialist People's Party will have 13 councilors in the Assembly of Podgorica. A majority of at least 29 councilors is needed to form the local government in the Montenegrin capital. Although the Democratic Socialist Party, which has been in power in Montenegro for three decades, has received the majority of mandates, it seems that it will not be easy for the local government, given that the parties that lead at the state level have constantly made it clearly they will not enter into a coalition with him.
Voter turnout was 56.3 percent, the lowest level in the last 10 years of registered voters, which is the lowest turnout in the last ten years. Experts consider Podgorica's elections important and see them as a test for possible extraordinary parliamentary elections in Montenegro, which according to some estimates may take place due to the still pronounced political instability in the country.
