With 56.55 percent of ballot papers counted, the 49-year-old Ivanov has won 66.21 percent of the votes, while Ljubomir Frckovski, candidate of the main opposition Socialists, has won 33.79 percent of the votes.
Voter turnout in these polling stations stands at 40.24 percent, said Zoran Tanevski, spokesman of Macedonia's state election commission.
Under Macedonia's election law, the turnout of voters in the second round should be above 40 percent for the run-off to be effective, otherwise the entire election has to be re-run.
