Slovenia's populist Prime Minister lost a national election to the environmentalist Freedom Movement party.
Janša, who had hoped to win a fourth term in office, conceded that he had been defeated in the vote, adding however that his SDS party had secured more votes than ever before."The results are what they are. Congratulations to the relative winner," Janša said, addressing his supporters.The election had been expected to be tight but the official preliminary figures showed the Freedom Movement, a newcomer in the election, leading with 34.
"Slovenia is once again experimenting with new faces, with people we have hardly even heard of before."The Freedom Movement, which was formed last year, is led by Robert Golob, a former executive of a state-owned energy company that launched green energy projects.In order to form a government, it is expected to form a coalition with the left-leaning Social Democrats and Left parties, which are currently set to have together 12 seats in parliament.
