A winner has yet to be declared following the presidential elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina on October 2nd. Though there seems to be no question as to who the eventual winners will be, the results are not final. In the meantime the Platform for Progress continues to reassess its disappointing showing and has begun the process of restricting the party. . I recently spoke with the president of the Platform for Progress Mirsad Hadžikadić about the current strategies for moving forward and preparing for the local elections in 2024.

It’s been nearly two weeks since the general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There have been allegations of widespread fraud throughout the country, ballots are being recounted, and the winners have yet to be declared. For Mirsad Hadžikadić, the final results will in no way impact the outcome for him. So it is now a time for the Platform for Progress to take a hard long look at the results, reevaluate the campaign, and determine what changes are needed moving forward. Hadžikadić shared with me what is currently being done to try and set the future course for the Platform and The Country coalition.

For Mirsad Hadžikadić and the Platform for Progress, the message of hope and change for Bosnia and Herzegovina has once again been rejected by the electorate. The realistic hope wasn’t that he would win, but that he would at least better his 2018 results in which he received an unprecedented 10 percent of the vote. Such was not the case on October 2, 2022, as voters handily said no to the last four years which saw a democratic movement being built from the ground up. I spoke with Hadzikadić about the results, his takeaways, and the plans moving forward.
