Politician
[edit]Lekić was given the ninth position on the Progressive Party's electoral list in the 2012 Vojvodina provincial election[2] and was elected when the list won fourteen mandates. The Democratic Party and its allies won the election, and the Progressives served for the next four years in opposition. During this term, Lekić was chair of the gender equality committee; a member of the committee for education, science, culture, youth, and sports; and a member of the province's council of national communities.

Vojvodina adopted a system of full proportional representation prior to the 2016 provincial election. Lekić was promoted to the seventh position on the Progressive list[5] and was re-elected when the list won a majority victory with sixty-three out of 120 mandates. During the 2016–20 term, she chaired the assembly's youth and sports committee.[6] She was also given Vojvodina's annual award in the field of gender equality in 2018.[7]
Lekić was elected to a third term in the 2020 provincial election; she received the thirteen position on the Progressive list and was re-elected when it won seventy-six seats.[8] She was once again chosen as leader of the women's parliamentary network in Vojvodina after the election,[9] and she is a member of the committee on youth and sports and the committee on gender equality.[10]
