Ljubljana mayor winning Slovenia poll - early result

December 4, 2011 3:14 PM EST

The centre-left party of Ljubljana Mayor Zoran Jankovic was ahead in Slovenia's parliamentary election on Sunday with 29.5 percent based on almost a third of votes counted, the state election commission said.

The opposition centre-right party of former prime minister Janez Jansa was on 25.9 percent after 31.8 percent of votes counted. The Social Democrat party of outgoing Prime Minister Borut Pahor was coming in third, punished by voters for an economic downturn in the euro zone member.
