In 29 out of 81 local government units, there will be a second election round, according to the initial results of the local poll Sunday. The completion of the vote count at all polling stations has resolved the dilemma in the Skopje municipality of Centar: Andrej Zernovski from the opposition Alliance for the Future who won 49.18 percent of the vote and Vladimir Todorovik from the VMRO-DPMNE are going to face each other in the second election round on 7 April.

Centar is one of the municipalities in which invalid ballots were the reason for leading candidates to miss the threshold of 51 percent by a small number votes. Zernovski, for example, has 1,400 votes more than Todorovik does and supposing the turnout in the second round is similar or smaller, the chances of a turnabout in this municipality are slim, especially bearing in mind that there is a similar difference in votes for the council member lists of SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE.
