China’s BYD captures 35% of Africa EV market, as latecomer rival Tesla bets on Morocco

Slovenia’s main opposition party, the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), is narrowly in the lead ahead of the general elections scheduled for March 22, a new opinion poll conducted by the Ninamedia agency for the weekly Mladina showed.
According to the survey, 22.6% of respondents said they would vote for the SDS, led by former prime minister Janez Jansa.
The ruling Freedom Movement, headed by Prime Minister Robert Golob, follows with 19.1% support, RTV SLO reported on January 30.
The poll indicates that the rightwing bloc, centred on the SDS and supported by allied parties including NSi, SLS, Fokus and Anze Logar’s Democrats, currently holds a slight advantage over the centre-left.
While the margin remains small, it could be sufficient for Jansa to form a new government, Mladina noted, though the final outcome remains uncertain less than two months before election day.
Support for other parties is relatively evenly spread. Around 6.5% of respondents would back the joint NSi–SLS–Fokus list, 6.4% the Social Democrats (SD), and 6.1% each the Levica–Vesna joint list and Anze Logar’s Democrats.
The extra-parliamentary Resni.ca party stands at 3.5%, close to the parliamentary threshold.
The poll also shows a high share of undecided voters, at 19.7%, some of whom may ultimately abstain. The survey was conducted between January 26 and 27 among 700 respondents.
