The Croatian Democratic Union party (HDZ) run by Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic has won the parliamentary election as victory came before 100% of the ballots were processed.

The parliamentary election on Wednesday was held to elect 151 members of the 11th assembly of Croatia's Sabor.

Plenkovic said, "First of all, allow me at the end of this election night to thank all our voters, all fellow citizens who participated in this election to the Croatian Sabor, which, thanks to [the decision of President Zoran] Milanovic, was held on this ridiculous day, Wednesday, to allegedly contribute to the Croatian GDP, help education, healthcare, and other areas."

"What is important is that the HDZ has a convincing victory in the parliamentary election for the third time in a row," he added on Wednesday.
