Governing liberals edge ahead of opposition conservatives in a race too close to call, according to exit poll.
Slovenia’s governing Freedom Movement (GS) is on track to win a parliamentary election but will need to find more coalition partners to form a government, according to an exit poll.
GS was set to secure 29.9 percent of the votes, or 30 seats in the country’s 90-seat parliament, in a dip from its previous result of 41 seats, according to the poll, published by TV Slovenia and Pop TV on Sunday.
The opposition Slovenian Democratic Party, led by populist Janez Jansa, is expected to come second and secure 27 seats in parliament, according to the Mediana polling agency.
As he voted, incumbent Prime Minister Robert Golob, 59, called on citizens to cast their ballots.
“Democracy and Slovenia’s sovereignty cannot be taken for granted any more,” he told reporters.
