Rasim Ljajić – Humane (SDP – CDP)

It bears the name of SDP founder Rasim Ljajić, a former government minister, who lent it his name but was not a candidate; its first candidate is Dženan Palamar of Novi Pazar. In the parliamentary election of 25 October 2026 it won 0.47% of ballots cast (electoral commission count of 26 October); the final CeSID/Ipsos projection gives it one seat.

History

Ljajić founded the SDP in 1994, as the Coalition for Sandžak, after splitting from the Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak; it took its name in 2000 and has been led by Samir Lekić since 2024. It long ran with Ljajić's Social Democratic Party of Serbia (SDPS); in 2026 Ljajić stepped down as SDPS leader, the SDPS joined the Socialists' list, and the SDP ran on its own list with the CDP under the slogan 'It's time for normality'. RIK unanimously proclaimed it a national-minority list on 15 September, with 250 candidates and 7,675 valid signatures. Ljajić told FoNet that standing on it after leaving the SDPS would be illogical, that he gave it his name for visibility, and that a minority list gains the natural threshold and the 35% increase of its quotient. Its one projected seat would go to Palamar; the second candidate is the cardiologist Muamer Bačevac.

Positions

The SDP represents Bosniak minority interests and Wikipedia places it on the centre-left. In the campaign Ljajić said the list would give no one 'blank support' and make no deal before the vote, but would talk to anyone afterwards, aiming for a result that would let it share in key decisions. After the vote he told Dnevni avaz that Bosniaks in Sandžak had voted against Vučić in a 'referendum tsunami' that left the party 'wounded, but alive'; that minorities could now be part of a majority only 'as decoration'; and that he personally would not think of joining a government, though he would not dissuade the party. SDP president Samir Lekić said the party was not satisfied, had paid the price of polarisation and had won more votes than all other Bosniak parties together, and that its next steps would wait for the final results.
