It was the seventh such election in the small landlocked Balkan country since it gained independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991. With 99.85% of Wednesday's ballots counted, the State Electoral Commission said Gordana Siljanovska Davkova had 40.08% — that's about double the votes of incumbent President Stevo Pendarovski, who got 19.93%. Siljanovska Davkova and Pendarovski, who is backed by the governing social democrats, will face off in a second round on May 8, when the country will also hold parliamentary elections.
