Branko Blanuša to be new SDS president

(Patria) - Branko Blanuša, a university professor, has accepted the candidacy for president of the Serbian Democratic Party.

Blanuša confirmed in a statement to BN TV that he informed the acting president of SDS, Jovica Radulović, in the afternoon hours that he accepts the candidacy.

The idea for Blanuša to take over SDS emerged after the early elections for the president of Republika Srpska, in which Blanuša won 212,605 votes. The Central Election Commission has not yet confirmed the election results, given the repeated counting of votes from some polling stations following a graphological analysis.

The SDS Assembly will be held on December 28 in Banja Luka.

Blanuša is a full professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Banja Luka.

He was born on August 29, 1969, in Banja Luka, where he grew up, was educated, lives and works.
