(12 Nov 2017) Voters in Slovenia cast ballots in a presidential runoff on Sunday, with President Borut Pahor's bid for re-election facing a tough challenge from an ex-comedian who's now the mayor of a northern town.
Pahor, a veteran politician known for his frequent use of social media, led by a large margin after the first round of voting on Oct. 22.
But his runoff opponent, Marjan Sarec, has since narrowed the gap and the latest polls predict a close race.
The president in Slovenia holds no executive powers but they propose a prime minister and their opinion on important issues holds weight.
Slovenia, a country of 2 million people in Central Europe, is known for its mountains and lakes.
