2022 parliamentary election
The turnout in the vote was 70%, according to the electoral commission. Experts said that was well above the national average. Peter Merše, a political analyst, said; "The biggest winner is of course the Freedom Movement. Slovenia is once again experimenting with new faces, with people we have hardly even heard of before." In the first round Anže Logar received 34% of the voter share against 27% for Nataša Pirc Musar.[3] Milan Brglez was third with around 15%.[3] For the second round Golob then turned his support to Pirc Musar.[3]
In the run-off, independent Pirc Musar was expected to win since August 2022.[4] Logar also ran as an independent, but was a member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), which lost parliamentary elections six months prior.[5] Logar is therefore associated with Janša, who was accused with attempting to restrict the freedom of expression and undermine the independence of the judiciary during his term in office.[5]
In the evening of 13 November 2022, the electoral commission reported that Pirc Musar won with nearly 54% of the vote, after which Logar conceded defeat and congratulated Pirc Musar on her victory.[6] Pirc Musar will become Slovenia's first female president, commander-in-chief of the Slovenian Army and also be responsible for appointing the head of the Central Bank of Slovenia.[7]
