The flag of Albana would be in the open list. Berisha gave 8 seats to Lapaj
DP MP Ferdinand Xhaferaj, who remained outside the May 11 race ranked some of the reasons Berisha and the opposition lost these elections. Xhaferaj said he had read the score over three years and « a certification of what I have said. »
« We do not discuss that we have competitive authoritarianism in Albania. Elections are kept and competitive, but as the OSCE/ODIHR said we have the use of the state in favor of the ruling party and the opposition is proven to be marginalized. The major problem within this is that the majority received much less than in 2013. It is not that the majority was increased, but the opposition was unable to grow. »
In Xhaferaj’s optics, Berisha should have entered a coalition with the Lapaj, Shehaj, Shehi parties, offering them at least 8 seats in safe lists and offering Albanians hope and alternatives to the consumed leftist governance.
« Berisha returned and received the support of the parliamentary group based on political realism because in those local elections that Ilir Meta decreed in 2022, it clearly turned out better than Lulzim Basha. We saw from the desire to remove this government that Berisha was powerful, the strongest opposition factor, but that we had a lot of work to do. 500,000 votes. He had to see endless negotiations between Berisha, Shehaj and Lapaj, to say that they require 5-6 seats but I give them 7-8. damaged, ”said A2CNN.
Another important factor that, according to the DP MP, led to the deep loss of May 11, was the lack of new figures on their closed list. Referring to Ilir Alimehmet in the studio, but also other names from the right, Xhaferaj said that with them on the safe list and the « veterans » in the open, the gray electorate would tend to vote.
