The departing Prime Minister Janez Janša, the leader of the Democrats (SDS), congratulated the relative winner of the general election, Robert Golob, and his Freedom Movement party in his initial reaction to the election outcome.
He assessed that the SDS will come out stronger of this election due to a higher number of seats in parliament. Janša thanked all the voters who voted for his party, the SDS’s election team and coalition partners. He is glad the voter turnout was high, saying the party wished such a turnout would be seen in every election. This election has displayed people’s dissatisfaction with the opposition, he said, as the opposition was “practically swept out of the parliament”.
