LJUBLJANA, March 23, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Slovenia's incumbent liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob claimed victory in parliamentary elections on Sunday, as results put his party just slightly ahead of the conservatives. With 99.85 percent of the votes counted, Golob's liberal party stood at 28.62 percent and the conservatives of veteran politician Jansa at 27.95 percent. The results put Golob's party on 29 seats compared to 28 for Jansa, in the 90-seat parliament. - 'Count every vote' -Three-time premier Jansa -- an ally of nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban -- described the vote as a "referendum on corruption" in reference to the videos. An anti-establishment party and a conservative party formed by a former Jansa ally have managed to enter parliament, fragmenting it further.
