Following the 2026 elections, the SNSD and its coalition partners secured a two-thirds majority in the Republika Srpska National Assembly, a victory that analysts suggest provides significant political control through 2030. Although Milorad Dodik was barred from holding public office by former High Representative Christian Schmidt, he declared victory for his political camp and continues to direct SNSD strategy. Preliminary results from the Central Election Commission (CIK) confirm significant wins for the SNSD at both the entity and state levels. Željka Cvijanović secured a decisive victory to become the Serbian member of the tripartite Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the state level, the new Presidency is expected to consist of Cvijanović, Denis Bećirović (SDP-BiH), and Darija Filipović (HDZ-BiH). In the wake of these results, Dodik and Dragan Čović (HDZ BiH) announced a continued political partnership to discuss the formation of the state-level government. Meanwhile, Dodik has moved to advance the autonomy of Republika Srpska, announcing plans to proclaim a new Constitution—potentially by January 9—to establish Banja Luka as the official capital and Pale as the capital city. ~~He also intends to reorganize public administration and form~~ Milorad Dodik has since outlined a specific timeline for the formation of the Republika Srpska government by and the ~~end~~ adoption of ~~December, following~~ next year’s budget, contingent upon the publication of final election results by November 4.
