Local elections in Podgorica, scheduled for May, 27, will show who the winner of the political stage is. Then we will find out whether the outcome of the local elections would be just the same as the outcome of the presidential elections.
The battle for the Capital has begun!
Judging by the results of the presidential elections, when Milo Đukanović won 50,9 % of votes, Democratic Party of Socialists has many reasons to expect its next victory.
But the situation isn’t as simple as it may seem. The opposition will also try to consolidate its position. However, if the opposition loses again, Đukanović’s assertion will be confirmed: Democratic Party of Socialists is a forever-winning machinery.
The opposition is now counting the members, reaching agreements, some coalitions have been formed and there will be more of them.
Democrats, lead by Aleksa Bečić and the civil movement URA (United reform Action) ,whose president is Dritan Abazović ,have already created a „coalition for the 21st century“. On the other side, the deal between the Democratic front and Socialist People’s Party is in the process of negotiation. Remains to be seen who will Socialist Democratic Party ( SDP) unite with. Probably with DEMOS.
Political analyst, Sergej Sekulović, confirms that the forthcoming elections will be a fierce battle for every vote.
„ Both the opposition and the Democratic Party of Socialists will draw on all their resources. There’s still chance for the opposing parties to win, if there is an increase in turnout and if their personnel offer is competitive“, says Sekulović.
