Croatia's left-leaning president Zoran Milanović is running for reelection against various contenders, including Dragan Primorac, backed by the centre-right government. Milanović, a critic of Western military support for Ukraine, is the frontrunner but may not win outright. If no candidate secures over 50% of the vote, a runoff will occur. The election is influenced by Milanović's polarizing rhetoric and a corruption scandal involving the health minister. Other candidates include Marija Selak Raspudić and Ivana Kekin, with a total of eight candidates in the race.
