Elections were held in Ljubljana on 20 November 2022 for the mayor of Ljubljana, the 45 members of the Ljubljana Assembly, the councils of districts and the local committees, as part of the 2022 Slovenian local elections.

Background

Since the start of the campaign, and especially in November 2022, polling for mayor had consistently placed the current mayor, Zoran Janković, clearly in the lead, with 55-60 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, the candidate of Slovenia's biggest party by member size – the SDS, were well behind, as were the other candidates politician Nataša Sukič, and political activist Aleš Primc.[1]

The first round of the mayoral election, held on 20 November 2022, was convincingly won by the current mayor Zoran Janković (with 61.83%), while far-left politician Nataša Sukič finished a distant second (with 9.61%). Furthermore, this was Janković's second worst ever result by number of votes, placing just ahead of mayoral elections in 2014.[citation needed]

Meanwhile, in the Assembly election, the Zoran Janković List won 18 of out the 45 seats, and later entered into a coalition with the centre-left Freedom Movement, which won 8 seats.[citation needed]
