Troika (Bosnian: Trojka), formerly known as the Four (Bosnian: Četvorka), is a liberal political alliance in Bosnia and Herzegovina, formed in March 2021. The alliance consists of the Social Democratic Party, the People and Justice party and Our Party.

The alliance was formerly colloquially called the Four, and had also included the Independent Bosnian-Herzegovinian List, before it left the alliance and renamed it to Troika.

History

The alliance was initially known as the Four and consisted of the Social Democratic Party (SDP BiH), the People and Justice party, Our Party and the Independent Bosnian-Herzegovinian List (NBL). It was formed for the 2020 Bosnian municipal elections.[1] In the elections, the alliance made significant results, winning in Centar, Novo Sarajevo, Stari Grad and Ilidža, as well as other major cities in the country.[2]

On 20 November 2020, the alliance announced that Bogić Bogićević accepted the appointment as mayor of Sarajevo following the 2020 elections.[3] However, on 24 March 2021, Bogićević decided to pull out of the candidacy because of conflicts in the coalition.[4][5] This ultimately led to the NBL leaving the group, and renaming the Four to the Troika.[6]

Troika, also supported by the Union for a Better Future and the People's European Union, announced SDP BiH's Denis Bećirović's candidacy in the Bosnian general election on 21 May 2022, running for presidency member and representing the Bosniaks.[7] At the general election, held on 2 October 2022, Bećirović was elected to the Presidency, having obtained 57.37% of the vote.[8] Following the election, Troika reached an agreement on the formation of a new government supported by the coalition of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, the Croatian Democratic Union and the Democratic People's Alliance.[9]
