Following the completion of vote counting by the Central Election Commission of Kosovo, the preliminary distribution of seats in the new 120-member Assembly of Kosovo is expected to be as follows:
| Political Party / Group | Seats |
|---|---|
| Lëvizja Vetëvendosje | 53 |
| Democratic Party of Kosovo | 22 |
| Democratic League of Kosovo | 18 |
| Alliance for the Future of Kosovo | 6 |
| Serbian and other non-majority community representatives | 21 |
| Total | 120 |
Key Political Takeaways
- Albin Kurti and Vetëvendosje remain the largest political force with 53 seats.
- LVV is expected to be able to form a government with support from non-Serb minority representatives, reaching the minimum parliamentary majority of 61 votes.
- Bedri Hamza leads the second-largest bloc with 22 deputies.
- The election of a President will likely require broader political agreement, as a presidential vote requires significantly more support than a simple parliamentary majority.
- This is why international partners, including the United Kingdom and Germany, have recently stressed the importance of establishing institutions with a full mandate, including the Assembly, Government, and Presidency.

Among the most prominent expected deputies are:
Vetëvendosje (LVV):
- Albin Kurti

What Happens Next?
After the certification of results:
- The new Assembly will be constituted.
- A Speaker of Parliament will be elected.
- The process of forming a new government will begin.
- Political negotiations regarding the next President are expected to intensify, as failure to elect a President could eventually trigger another institutional crisis.
The coming weeks are therefore expected to be crucial for determining Kosovo’s political direction for the next four years.
