Slovenia may be heading into a post-election “circus” as the latest poll showed three parties in a tight race, signaling the winner may have a tough time to form a coalition after the snap vote.

The List of Marjan Sarec, an ex-comedian who shot to political popularity during last year’s presidential challenge to incumbent Borut Pahor, led the poll even as his support fell to 15 percent in April from 19.2 percent in March, the Delo Stik pollsterBloomberg Terminal said on Monday. Ex-Premier Janez Jansa’s Slovenian Democratic Party was second and the Social Democrats were third in the poll.
