Anton Rop and Urška Klakočar Zupančič have joined forces to run together on a common list for the upcoming local elections in Ljubljana. This decision marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the capital, as both figures bring considerable experience and public recognition to the campaign. The two candidates—Rop, a former prime minister and finance minister, and Klakočar Zupančič, a former member of parliament and leader of the Freedom Party—are positioning themselves as challengers to the incumbent mayor, Zoran Janković, who has held office for over two decades. While their joint candidacy signals a potential challenge to Janković’s dominance, the specifics of their roles remain under discussion. The announcement was made through a press release issued by Klakočar Zupančič during her appearance on the evening television show POP TV. She confirmed that she and Rop will run together on a shared list but did not yet reveal which one of them would serve as the official candidate for mayor. Instead, she emphasized that they are currently focused on developing their platform and program for the election. "We are still deciding who will be the candidate for mayor, and right now it's time for our program," she stated. Klakočar Zupančič also mentioned that she does not intend to engage with the functions of the position at this stage, stating that the voters will learn about the candidate for the shared list at the appropriate time. The shared list includes a group of experts from various fields, all of whom aim to return Ljubljana to its citizens. Klakočar Zupančič explained that these individuals are selected because they believe the city needs fresh ideas and changes. However, she clarified that the list does not expect support from the Freedom Party, as she had already left the party after failing to win re-election in the recent parliamentary elections. She noted that while she once belonged to the party, the current situation makes such support irrelevant. Klakočar Zupančič expressed her decision to run on the shared list due to her long-standing connection to Ljubljana, having lived there for 30 years. She criticized Janković’s tenure, calling his 20-year rule a period of stagnation that has failed to meet the changing needs of the city. "The city has changed, the people have changed, and the demands of the city are different than they were 20 years ago," she said. She argued that the role of a mayor requires new people who can bring fresh perspectives and necessary reforms. Her campaign focuses on improving public transportation, enhancing cooperation between municipal authorities and residents, promoting sustainable policies, and improving air quality and housing policies. She also supports a Sunday referendum on parking regulations, which she believes is essential for addressing urban mobility issues. Rop, meanwhile, has been less vocal about his specific plans, though he has hinted that the primary goal of the shared list is to secure as many seats as possible in the city council. He emphasized that the focus should be on shaping the city’s future rather than immediately contesting the mayoral race. In an interview with N1 Slovenia, Rop stated that the decision on who will run for mayor is still pending and that the team will announce their choice closer to the election date. He acknowledged that Janković’s long tenure has created a sense of complacency within the city administration, and he believes that change is overdue. "More than 20 years of leadership is enough," he remarked, adding that the time for transformation has come. Other potential challengers to Janković include Luka Mesec, the coordinator of the Left party, as well as Aleš Primc and Jasmin Feratović from the Pirati party, and former city councillor Mihael Jarc. These candidates represent a range of political ideologies, from progressive to centrist, and their presence adds complexity to the electoral race. Meanwhile, the ruling party, SDS, continues to support Janković, with its deputy head, Andreja Katič, expressing confidence in his ability to win another term. Public opinion polls suggest that Klakočar Zupančič is currently leading among voters, although her lead is not overwhelming. According to data from the Ninamedie polling agency, she received 19.6% of support in May, compared to Janković’s 36.8%. However, the results are not definitive, and the race remains competitive. Some analysts argue that Rop’s extensive political experience could give him an edge, particularly in areas where policy expertise is crucial. Others, however, point to Klakočar Zupančič’s strong grassroots connections and her appeal to younger voters as factors that could help her gain traction. The election campaign is set to begin in September, with voting scheduled for November 15. As the candidates prepare their platforms, the political climate in Ljubljana remains charged with anticipation. Whether the shared list of Rop and Klakočar Zupančič will succeed in challenging Janković’s entrenched position depends on how effectively they can unite their strengths and address the concerns of Ljubljana’s diverse population. For now, the city waits to see whether the old guard will continue to dominate or if a new wave of reformists will finally break through.
