If the result is confirmed, Vucic's right-wing populist SNS would emerge stronger from the election. It previously had 120 seats and was dependent on a coalition partner.
Vucic's SNS was the favorite going into the election despite high inflation and months of mass protests in Serbia. The president was omnipresent in the election campaign and Sunday 's vote was seen as a referendum on his government.
Opposition leader Radomir Lazovic complained of "a lot of irregularities" during the election. He spoke of "vote buying" and forged signatures.
