The Student List secured 140 seats in the 250-member parliament, enough to form a government on its own
Serbia’s student-led opposition has secured an outright parliamentary majority, defeating former President Aleksandar Vucic’s coalition, according to the final results of the October 25 snap elections announced on Thursday.
The Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) confirmed that the Student List won 140 seats in the 250-member National Assembly, well above the 126 needed to govern alone. Vucic’s United Serbia secured 103 seats, with the remaining seven going to parties representing ethnic Hungarians, Albanians, and Muslim Slavs. Turnout was nearly 69%.
The new parliament must convene within 30 days, after which lawmakers have 90 days to form a government.
The Student List emerged from nearly two years of anti-government protests sparked by the November 2024 collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad that killed 16 people. The movement campaigned on fighting corruption and reforming state institutions.
