The candidate for the president of North Macedonia, Stevo Pendarovski, accepted the defeat tonight and wished successful work to the opposing candidate from the ranks of VMRO-DPMNE. On this occasion, Pendarovski said that regardless of the result, he has a clear conscience. "We know that there are some reports of some irregularities, but we leave this to the competent bodies so that no stain remains on the electoral process. I congratulate the winners, I wish them success in their work during the next four years, namely the next 5 years. My concept for a multi-ethnic Macedonia integrated into the Euro-Atlantic structures did not find support among the voters, however I remain in the position that only such a Macedonia can be prosperous. However, my conscience is clear", said Pendarovski. Meanwhile, the candidate for president from the ranks of VMRO-DPMNE, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, declared tonight that the great support from the citizens in the second round of elections for the head of the country also means great responsibility. "Citizens went to the polls and cast their vote for what they wanted. It didn't happen to me to convince the citizens to vote for me, that I am the best, the wisest, but I let the citizens decide for themselves", she said. So far, 77.38 percent of votes have been counted for the second round of the presidential election in North Macedonia. SDSM candidate Stevo Pendarovski, the current president, received 39.27 percent or 190.369 votes, while Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova received 64.83 percent or 421.673 votes. The difference in votes is 231.304.
