Filipce Elected SDSM Leader with Four-year Term

On Sunday, in the intraparty election for SDSM leader, Venko Filipce, the only candidate, won a four-year term. 76.5% of registered voters at 78 polling stations throughout the country voted.

18,001 of the 18,140 voters supported Filipce, while there were 131 invalid ballots. In his speech after the elections, Filipce said he would renew the party, adding that there would be a difficult battle against the VMRO-DPMNE-ZNAM-VLEN cabinet, which he described as the most incompetent government in the country’s history.

“SDSM is ready to return to winning ways”, the SDSM leader stressed.

Filipce was first elected party leader in June 2024, following Dimitar Kovacevski’s resignation.
