In a Facebook poll of 6,121 respondents, 22% chose “Goran ATANASOVSKI”. How we count
Six thousand votes, twenty-eight names, one brutal early scrum. Goran Atanasovski and B.A.L Team traded the lead eight times in the first 11 days alone — flipping on day 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11. Then Vasko Markovski stormed past both on day 12 and held a steady mid-teens lead for a full 20 days, untouched.
Day 32 broke the standoff: Goran retook first, Biljana Ivanovska briefly seized it days 33, 37 and 39, but Goran's day-45 surge — fueled by a Darko Gavrovski-sized wave of votes — pushed him to 22% and he never let go again, closing 65 days unchallenged. Geography split the finish: North Macedonia backed Goran, the United States rallied behind Vasko.
- Early chaos · Lead flipped 7 times between two names in 11 days.
- The long occupier · Vasko Markovski led alone for 20 straight days.
- Home vs. diaspora · North Macedonia favored Goran; the US backed Vasko instead.
- Final coronation · Day 45 breakout locked Goran's 22% lead for the rest of the poll.
