An opposition liberal party has convincingly scored an election victory in Slovenia, according to early official results, in a major defeat for populist Prime Minister Janez Jansa, who was accused of pushing the European Union country to the right.
Jansa, who had hoped to win a fourth term in office, conceded on Sunday that he had been defeated in the vote, but added that his Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) party secured more votes than ever.
