The second elections were organised in 1998, but organisation was poor as the region had been subject to war since 1997. The Democratic League of Kosovo is the first major party in Kosovo that survived in the post-war political scene and held its composition. Formed in 1989 as the first democratic movement in Kosovo, LDK after the war was transformed into a right-wing party. Since the end of the war it has had widespread support in Pristina. The LDK governed the capital city from 2000 until 2013. The PDK, established as a party in 2000, is known as a successor of the KLA thus its head figures derived from it. The AAK, established after the war as a coalition of five parties, also is linked as a successor of the KLA and was formed after the war in 2000. The AKR, founded by Behxhet Pacolli a famous Kosovan entrepreneur in 2006, had the most successful campaign in Pristina in the 2009 elections, being the second party. VETËVENDOSJE!, initially a movement formed in 2004, transformed itself into a party in 2010 just before the national elections. VETËVENDOSJE! is known and declared as the only political subject in Kosovo with a left platform. In December 2013, VETËVENDOSJE! candidate Shpend Ahmeti was elected mayor. In the post-war political scene of Pristina a lot of parties and individuals have presented their offer to the voters, but except for these five parties (LDK, PDK, AAK, AKR, and VETËVENDOSJE!) they have faded from the political spectrum. The support for the LDK in Pristina was always in high numbers. Even after the support for the LDK in other parts of Kosovo decreased dramatically, its electorate in Pristina remained a stable amount. On the other hand, the support of voters for the PDK in other parts of Kosovo never reflected in the capital city. The PDK failed to end LDK dominance in Pristina, forcing the elections into a runoff just once, in 2007. In the 2007 elections PDK candidate Fatmir Limaj, a war veteran and famous politician, became the first and the last PDK candidate to enter the runoff race in which he was defeated by Isa Mustafa. In 2009 the AKR candidate, the businessman Vegim Gashi won 20 percent of the voters putting the AKR in the political scene of Pristina with a solid electorate.
