North Macedonians vote for a presidential run-off amid divisions over name change
People walk under billboards of presidential candidates Stevo Pendarovski of the centre-left ruling SDSM party and Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova of the opposition rightwing on May 4, 201
The tie traced the near-even split between the pro-Western and nationalist camps who have clashed over the government's recent move to change the Balkan country's name to North Macedonia which ended a long-running row with Greece. The presidential vote would also likely be re-run from the start, though Zaev has floated other options involving constitutional changes.
People walk past a campaign poster of centre-left ruling SDSM party candidate Stevo Pendarovski in the town of Tetovo on May 4, 2019. The small, landlocked state has weathered repeated bouts of political turmoil in recent years, with nearly 10 elections in the past decade doing little to boost the public's faith in politicians.
Zaev said he would also call an early general election in the event of a loss by 56-year-old Pendarovski, who is championing efforts to forge closer links with the West.
