What the coverage shows

All nine outlets converge on Vucic conceding defeat and on the student-led opposition as the winning force, with several including BBC News, AP, France 24 and The Guardian US framing the contest as the culmination of long-running student protests. The differences are mostly in emphasis: BBC News and AP stress the race or threat before the result, while the South China Morning Post and CBS News foreground Vucic's long rule and power; France 24 alone highlights record turnout, and CBS News alone mentions Vucic's earlier claim that the students were foreign-led.
