This was the fourth such election since independence in 1991. It resulted in the landslide reelection of incumbent Stjepan Mesić in office since 2000. It also became the first time that a woman, Jadranka Kosor, took part in the runoff. The percentage of the vote received by Mesić in the second round is the highest of any president to date, as he won relection with 65.93% of the vote, while also narrowly failing to win outright in the first round with 48.92% of votes. President Mesić was sworn in for a second term on 18 February 2005 by the Chief justice of the Constitutional court. ==Background== The Croatian State Elections Committee published a list of potential candidates on 15 December 2004. President Stjepan Mesić stood for re-election, and the governing HDZ nominated cabinet minister Jadranka Kosor. A total of thirteen candidates were accepted, each after having submitted 10,000 citizen signatures, an endorsement required by law. Mesić won a landslide victory gaining nearly 49% of the vote in the first round, held on 2 January 2005. He only narrowly missed the 50% target for an outright win, with Kosor trailing with 20% and a surprising independent candidate Boris Mikšić with 18% of the vote. The elections went to a second round held on 16 January 2005 in which Mesić and Kosor were the only candidates. This time, Mesić won an overwhelming majority with about 66% of the vote against Kosor's 34%. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Croatian presidential election, 2005」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
