The second half of the election campaign saw a number of defections to Gruevski's coalition, with two smaller right-wing parties -- the VMRO-NP of former Prime Minister Ljupco Georgievski and ex-interior minister Ljube Boskovski's United for Macedonia -- saying they would seek a deal with the opposition.
U drugoj polovini predizborne kampanje došlo je do napuštanja koalicije premijera Gruevskog, kada su dve manje desničarske stranke -- VMRO-NP bivšeg premijera Ljupčeta Georgijevskog i bivšeg ministra unutrašnjih poslova Ljubeta Boškovskog Ujedinjeni za Makedoniju -- rekle da će pokušati da postignu sporazum sa opozicijom.
