Latest poll published by the Habeaus Corpus Institute gave VMRO-DPMNE a 70.000 votes advantage over the SDSM-BESA coalition.
The polls show VMRO leading with 22,5 percent of the vote ahead of SDSM-BESA with 20 percent (Habeas Corpus).
Projected onto voters, depending on the turnout, this should result in a lead of about 70.000 votes and would make VMRO a certain winner of the elections. Ethnic Albanians largest party SDSM is hoping that the coalition with a smaller party in BESA will help it make up its losing margin among ethnic Macedonian voters by adding ethnic Albanian voters who would otherwise go for BESA.
