Parliamentary elections were held in North Macedonia on 8 May 2024. The slow pace of EU integration and corruption were the main issues of this election.

The right-wing opposition coalition led by the nationalist VMRO-DPMNE party decisively won the election receiving 44% of the vote and 58 seats which were three short of an outright majority. The incumbent center-left coalition led by the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia lost 28 seats and collapsed to 14% of the popular vote. The second round of the 2024 presidential election was held on the same day which was also won by the VMRO-DPMNE candidate, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova.
