Aleksandar Vučić leads the market at 62.7% because Serbia’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) nominated him as its prime ministerial candidate on the “Aleksandar Vučić – United Serbia” list for the October 25 snap parliamentary elections. Vučić resigned the presidency on September 27 to pursue the role, circumventing constitutional term limits while retaining executive influence through the premiership if his party secures a majority or coalition. The move followed nearly two years of student-led protests sparked by the November 2024 Novi Sad railway station collapse and demands for accountability. Recent polls have placed the SNS ahead of the student-backed “Students Win” list, whose candidate Ilija Srdanović sits at 22.5%, though the contest remains competitive amid opposition consolidation and institutional polarization. Lower-priced names reflect limited parliamentary support or coalition prospects in the current environment.
