Following news of Aleksandar Vučić's concession of defeat, thousands of citizens celebrated, chanting and honking car horns

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić resigned seven months before the end of his final term, triggering an early presidential election while Serbia prepares for a snap parliamentary election on 25 October. His resignation allows him to become prime minister if the Serbian Progressive Party forms the next government.

Opposition-backed candidates won enough support for Aleksandar Vučić to concede defeat, setting up a change of government. Final seat allocations remain to be confirmed, while leadership choices and the movement's ability to deliver institutional reform are unresolved.

Serbia's Student List, a youth-led anti-corruption movement that grew out of the November 2024 Novi Sad station canopy collapse, defeated Aleksandar Vučić's ruling coalition in the 25 October snap election after 14 years of his party's rule. Monitor CRTA reported 51.47% of the vote against 40.42%, with estimates of 135 to 140 of 250 seats; final seat allocations remain to be confirmed.
