DW: North Macedonia votes in polarized presidential runoff
North Macedonian voters are choosing a new president in a poll that could make life more difficult for the ruling Social Democrats. The entire election will need to be rerun if not enough people turn out to vote.
Voters in North Macedonia returned to the ballot box on Sunday to vote in a presidential runoff election that focused on the name change deal with Greece.
The hotly contested vote pits Stevo Pendarovski, backed by the ruling Social Democrats, against his nationalist-backed rival Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova.
Casting his ballot on Sunday, Pendarovski urged people to vote for his concept of "moving forward for all citizens of Republic of North Macedonia, all ethnicities regardless of religion, nationality or political party."
His rival, Siljanovska-Davkova, said she would end the "political winter in Macedonia."
