PRISTINA, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci's PDK party made the strongest showing in Sunday's general election, winning 33.5 percent of the votes, the Election Commission said on Monday.

The LDK party, a former coalition ally of the PDK, took second place with 23.6 percent, on a turnout of 47.8 percent of the 1.6 million eligible voters, the Commission said.

The LDK and other parties complained of irregularities and said they would ask for a re-run of the vote in two constituencies, Thaci strongholds where turnout was noticeably higher than the national average. (Pristina newsroom; editing by Tim Pearce)
