The recount is complete. Prime Minister Albin Kurti's Social Democratic Party has been confirmed as the winner of the new elections in Kosovo by a large margin.

Kurti and his party were declared the winners at the end of December, when the election took place. This was followed by allegations of fraud and a complete recount.

It now confirms that Kurti's social democratic Vetevendosje received 51.1 percent of the vote.

The snap parliamentary election was called after Kurti failed to form a government following the elections in February last year, when he received around 42 percent of the vote.

The impasse was the first of its kind since Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008. As a result, no budget has been approved for 2026, raising concerns about the country's already strained economy.
