  Milanović ran for a second presidential term in December 2024. Despite coming at first place, he narrowly failed to win an outright majority with 49% of the vote, resulting in a runoff election in January 2025 against Dragan Primorac of the HDZ. Milanović proceeded to win the runoff, gaining 74.69% of the votes, making him the president of Croatia once again. Milanović's share of the vote was the highest for a presidential candidate in Croatia since independence in 1991.
  
  It’s worth noting, however, that the turnout stood at only 44%, the lowest since Croatia gained independence in 1991.
