Název v původním jazyce

Presidential election in Slovakia, March-April 2024

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

After President Zuzana Čaputová announced that she would not seek re-election in 2024, it was clear that Slovaks would have a new President. The election which took place on 23 March and 6 April was won in the second round by Peter Pellegrini, who defeated his opponent, long-serving diplomat and former foreign minister Ivan Korčok. Pellegrini became the first politician in modern Slovak history to hold all the highest constitutional offices, having previously served as speaker of parliament (2014-2016, 2023-2024) and prime minister (2018-2020).This text has several aims. First, it outlines the broader historical background of the presidential election in Slovakia and the legal framework under which the 2024 election took place. Second, it discusses the context of the 2024 presidential election and the candidate nomination process. Third, it presents the highlights of the candidates’ campaigns in both rounds and outlines the reasons behind Peter Pellegrini’s victory, inquiring from which electoral groups and regions Pellegrini drew his electoral support. Finally, this contribution discusses the impact of Pellegrini’s victory on the current and future direction of Slovak politics.
