Elections for the leadership of the Democratic Party of Albania/ Alimehmeti: It

DP member Ilir Alimehmeti spoke today about the elections for the chairman of the Democratic Party. In a television appearance, Alimehmeti said the race would have been more interesting if there had been another candidate running for the position.

This is because, according to him, when there is only one candidate, in this case only the current leader Sali Berisha, it is more of a reconfirmation than an election.  

"When there is only one candidate, it is a reconfirmation. There is no way it could be otherwise. A race would have been more interesting. Races for opposition leader are not subject to the electorate, but to the membership itself. It is the membership that decides, one member one vote, for the leader. It is not a perfect system, it has its shortcomings. But that is how it is decided by the statute. Then the electorate has its own right within a party to see the total and make its own decisions. There is also a different opinion in the membership. There could also be a vote to a different extent. But I had doubts that Berisha would not be confirmed as the leader of the DP. I think there are other figures. Whether we win or not, this is another matter. Who is at the leading levels, branch leaders, like we had Mr. Elezi. A winning platform would require a longer work. I do not see anyone offering a serious proposal in this total aspect ," Alimehmeti said. /CNA
