April

The first controversial election for the Croatian President was held in April 2009. After HLD managed to create a strong opposition to the current government (HDS), Roby Petric became the official HDS candidate overnight. This decision was controversial because only days before, Roby decided that it was time to create strong opposition and he was a member of HLD at the time. As a person who has done the most for Croatia, Roby was elected with no real problem.

For the first time, more than 1000 citizens voted in presidential elections, the exact number was 1056 voters.

Candidate	Member of	Supported by	Number of votes
Roby Petric	Hrvatska Demokratska Stranka	Savez Hrvatskih Nacionalista	441 (41.76%)
