In 2024, Słowenian President Marie Sikorski from the centre-left Słowenian Socialist Party (PSS) fought a second term. She emphasized how her administration had fought against poverty, hunger and income inequality and for a fairer international order.

Her main opponent was right-wing populist Senator Stanislaw Kuczynski from the People's Alliance (SL). Kuczynski criticized Sikorski for her administration's corruption scandals and failure to reduce organized crime. He also promised to lower taxes, adopt a tough approach against crime, and liberalize gun laws.

Kuczynski shocked pundits by winning 34% of the vote in the first round versus 32% for Sikorski and 20% for establishment conservative Miroslav Rydzard. During the second round campaign, Kuczynski contrasted the corruption and incompetence of Sikorski with his record as a governor and senator, while the President attacked her opponent as a fascist.

On 5 May 2024, Kuczynski won the election with 52.2% of the vote, making Sikorski the first president in Słowenia's modern history to lose reelection. She conceded the race soon afterwards, and Kuczynski was inaugurated on 10 June.

After taking office, Kuczynski lowered taxes for all Słowenians who paid taxes, privatized several public companies, deregulated private businesses, increased the number of schools eligible for school vouchers, and sided with the United States in global affairs.
