Ivo Josipović (born 28 August 1957) is a Croatian politician, university professor, legal expert, musician and composer. He serves as a member of the Croatian Parliament for the Social Democratic Party of Croatia (SDP) and is the Croatian President-Elect.
On 27 December 2009 Josipović won more votes than his 11 rivals . He did not, however, secure the absolute majority necessary to secure an outright victory. On 10 January 2010, he faced the independent candidate Milan Bandić in a run-off. Bandić secured 14.8% of the votes in the first round, to finish second in a field of twelve candidates.
Ivo Josipović went from being almost unknown to the general public to winning the most votes during the elections. He is campaigning for Nova Pravednost (New Justice), calling for a new social and legal framework to address the deep social injustices, corruption and organised crime which mark the country today. This includes the protection of individual rights and the promotion of such fundamental values as equality, human rights, justice, diligence, social empathy and creativity.
He is married to Tatjana, who is a civil law professor and legal expert. They have one daughter, Lana (born c. 1991).
