Suad Huskić resigns as Mayor of Tešanj amid Federation of BiH premiership speculation

Suad Huskić has resigned from his position as Mayor of Tešanj after 14 years in office to join the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, following his direct mandate in recent elections.

The Tešanj Municipal Assembly unanimously elected Amir Kurtić as acting mayor during an emergency session. Kurtić, an electrical engineer and former chairman of the Assembly, will serve in this capacity for up to three months until early elections are held.

Huskić’s departure comes amid political discussions regarding the future leadership of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is reportedly a leading candidate from the SDA party for the position of Prime Minister of the Federation, though Nezir Pivić remains another potential candidate. If Huskić assumes a federal role, political shifts may also affect the leadership of the Zenica-Doboj Canton.
