The vote counting from the diaspora is nearing completion, and the race in the Tirana district is proving to be tighter and more unpredictable than expected, bringing major surprises for the Socialist Party (Partia Socialiste), reports Rks News.
Preliminary results show that 11 prominent figures of the party are currently outside the winning list and risk not being part of the new legislature, which is expected to begin in September.
These are well-known names in Albanian politics, including former ministers, experienced MPs, and notable personalities in the parliamentary life of the Socialist Party. The situation has caused considerable tension and discussion within party ranks, while the final result is expected to bring clarity to the new political composition of Parliament.
The names currently at risk include:
Pandeli Majko
Mimi Kodheli
Klotilda Bushka
Ermonela Felaj
Xhemal Qefalia
Toni Gogu
Arben Pëllumbi
Etjen Xhafaj
Etilda Gjonaj
Plarent Ndreca
Blerina Gjylameti
