Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, the opposition candidate, has emerged as the next president of North Macedonia after the ruling SDSM party conceded defeat in both the second round of the presidential election and the parliamentary election. The leader of the center-left SDSM congratulated the right-wing main opposition party on its election victory late Wednesday. It is expected that Christian Mickoski, a right-wing leader, will become the next prime minister, while the more ceremonial post of president will go to Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, a lawyer and professor by background.

The right-wing party VMRO-DPMNE, which is coming to power, has expressed opposition to the concessions that Bulgaria has demanded before North Macedonia could start EU membership talks. In their speeches, Mickoski and the party have also criticized Greece and the country’s own Albanian minority.
