Presidential Elections in Slovenia (BETAPHOTO/HINA/ STA)
Slovenians voted in the first round of a presidential elections on Oct. 23, while exit polls show that no candidate will get more than 50 percent of the ballot, which is needed for a first-round win.
There were seven candidates in the running, three of whom are considered relevant: former foreign minister Anze Logar, attorney and human rights advocate Natasa Pirc Musar and ruling coalition candidate Milan Brglez.
If none of the candidates get 50 percent of the vote, a second round will take place on Nov. 13. According to the latest polls, Logar can count on entering the second round, with either Pirc Musar or Brglez.
The election is considered a test for Robert Golob's liberal government, which replaced the cabinet of populist Janez Jansa six months ago, after a parliamentary election on April 24, amid a crisis sparked by the Russian war against Ukraine.
