Parliamentary elections were held in Slovenia on 4 December 2011 to elect the 90 deputies of the National Assembly.[1] This was the first early election in Slovenia's history. The election was surprisingly won by the center-left Positive Slovenia party, led by Zoran Janković. However, he failed to be elected as the new Prime Minister in the National Assembly,[2] and the new government was instead formed by a right-leaning coalition of five parties, led by Janez Janša, the president of the second-placed Slovenian Democratic Party.[2][3][4] The voter turnout was 65.60%.
