### Istog

[edit]

The second-round vote took place twice in Istog. Gani Dreshaj was initially declared the winner over incumbent mayor Haki Rugova; Rugova had held a lead until the postal votes went overwhelmingly in Dreshaj's favour. Rugova contended that the postal votes were manipulated by organized crime and challenged the result.[32] A re-vote was ordered for December 2017, and Rugova was narrowly re-elected.[33][34]
