Prosecutor Iskra Haxhi Vasileva has mostly received votes in the race for the management of the Public Founding Prosecutor for Following Organised Crime and Corruption.

It has a narrow advantage over the second candidate, Trajce Pelivanov.

Five candidates were in the race: Iskra Haxhi Vasileva, Faton Asazi, Trajce Pelivanov, Jovan Cvetanovski and Lidija Raic.

The vote took place between 8:00 and 4: 00 p.m. Voter rights had 187 public prosecutors from all over Northern Macedonia, who voted directly and in secret.

The results are expected to be summed up and officially announced at a public session. Candidates and voters have the right to present objections regarding the election procedure.

The elections were organised due to the end of the current leader’s mandate, Islam Abazi, who was elected in 2022 and did not run for a new mandate.
