Presidential elections were held in Slovenia on 23 October 2022.[1] Incumbent President Borut Pahor was ineligible to run for a third consecutive term due to term limits.[2]
As no candidate received a majority of the vote, a runoff between the top two placing candidates, former foreign minister Anže Logar, an SDS member running as an independent, and independent former Information Commissioner Nataša Pirc Musar, took place on 13 November 2022. Pirc Musar won the runoff with 53.86% of the vote, becoming the first female president of Slovenia.[3][4]
Logar acknowledged his defeat and congratulated Pirc Musar on her victory.[5]
