2014 Special Election In District II

A special election was held in District II (Kakerovecska) following the death of Senator Ljubo Sanjakorin (BD) in January 2014. Sanjakorin had represented the district since 1979, and his passing triggered a highly competitive race to fill the now-vacant seat.

Breakdown by District

District II (Kakerovecska)

In a stunning upset, the Civic Renewal Front captured the seat held by Blue Dawn for 35 years. The CRF, which had placed third in the district in 2012, fielded a new candidate, local councillor Vesna Horvatin, who ran a spirited campaign. She narrowly defeated Blue Dawn candidate Boris Garic by less than 200 votes in a result that was not confirmed until the following morning. The victory provided a much-needed boost for the struggling CRF, giving them a third seat in the Assembly.
