Although PES narrowly won at the polls in Tivat, the coalition gathered around DPS has no reason to be overly satisfied with the results it achieved here in the parliamentary elections.
Namely, the "Together DPS-SD-LP-DUA" coalition in Tivat received 1.543 votes on Sunday, only 13 votes more than PES, which recorded a score of 1.531 votes from the people of Tivat.
The result of the DPS and its partners on Sunday was about 1.000 votes lower than in the extraordinary local elections in Tivat on October 23 last year, when the coalition Prava stava DPS-SD-SDP-LP had a total of 2.604 votes. Even if one subtracts from that the 138 votes that the SDP (which was not in coalition with the DPS) received in the parliamentary elections in Tivat, the fact remains that the DPS and its partners lost almost 1.000 votes in less than eight months.
Although it is difficult to make a direct comparison with the local elections, where the PES appeared in a coalition with the civic list Narod pojebejaje (which supported it in the parliamentary elections), as well as the Democrats and the DSS, so together they took 2.196 votes in October with a turnout of almost 65 percent, it can be concluded that the rating of PES and NP as the backbone around which the current local government in Tivat is gathered is actually growing.
Namely, on Sunday, with a drastically worse turnout that hovered around 52 percent, PES and its partners in Tivat almost repeated the result from October - bearing in mind the fact that the Democrats now appeared on the second list - in a coalition with URA, while DSS was part of People's coalition, which achieved a total of 245 votes.
If PES's 1.531 votes were added to the current performance of its partners from the local elections, the Democrats and DSS, the cumulative result would be the same as the one from October last year, with a significantly lower turnout.
The Alliance of Democrats and GP URA "Hrabro se Broji" on Sunday received 504 votes from the people of Tivat, of which the lion's share was the votes of the Democrats, bearing in mind that URA traditionally stands poorly in Tivat, where in the local elections in October in the coalition with the SNP, it had only symbolic 185 votes and the rest below the census.
The SNP has now taken 23 votes, which means that the objective rating of the URA in Tivat ranges between 100 and 150 supporters, according to which the party of Prime Minister Abazović, despite the official campaign and misuse of public resources, is still very far from the threshold for entering the local parliament on some new elections.
The "Hrabro se broji" coalition was among the biggest losers at the polling stations in Tivat on Sunday, because with 751 votes, as much as their joint candidate Aleksa Bečić had in the first round of the presidential elections in this city three months ago, they now fell to only 504 voice.
Among the biggest winners are HGI, which jumped from 657 in October to 803 votes, as well as KZBCG, which had 925 votes on Sunday. In the local elections in October last year, this group acted as a single DF and then had 656 votes, which means that now in the parliamentary elections, the independent exit of the PzP, which achieved only 41 votes in Tivat, actually benefited it. The result of KZBCG is even more significant considering that among the voters of a political gender close to them, the People's Coalition (245 votes) and Vladimir Leposavić's Movement for Justice for All (223 votes) "took off" this time.
