Lalzi Bay this Saturday will not be the center of attention for tourists, but for socialists , due to the Assembly that will be held in one of the resorts in that area.
This Assembly has raised many questions and is eagerly awaited by the socialists, especially the last part of their president's speech.
Meanwhile, although the media and television shows hint that Rama will speak about Veliaj, the prime minister is expected to focus on protests and preparations for the May 9 elections.
The Socialists seem to be focusing their attention on the capital, so as not to lose the largest and most important municipality in Albania.
This Saturday, the number of political leaders of the regions is expected to double, from 12 to 24. This move, apparently, aims to strengthen the positions of this political force before the local elections of May 9, 2027.
What is expected to serve as a kind of "New Year's gift" for some of the socialists is the mention of their names as possible candidates for the May 9 elections.
The ministers who are expected to step down to participate in the May 9th electoral race are Ervin Demo (Minister of Interior), Enea Karakaçi (Minister of Infrastructure and Energy) and Andis Salla (Minister of Agriculture).
VoxNews has learned that these names are being discussed in the Socialist polls. The surprise is Ervin Demo , who is mentioned as a possible candidate for Tirana, although there are still no reliable results to confirm or deny this candidacy for the leadership of the capital.
Meanwhile, Enea Karakaci , the political leader of the Socialist Party in Shkodra, is also expected to be entrusted with the candidacy for the leadership of this municipality, which the Socialists won with Benet Beci.
The Municipality of Elbasan, which with the new territorial division has been transformed into a " supermunicipality " due to the merger with Cerrik and Belshi, is expected to be entrusted to Andis Salla.
The former mayor of Cërrik, who later took over as Minister of Agriculture, is expected to return to the race to lead the "supermunicipality" of Elbasan.
It seems that the May 9 elections will be for the Socialists not only a race to win municipalities, but also a test to measure whether they still enjoy the trust of voters.
In particular, the battle for Tirana is expected to be one of the most difficult challenges for the Socialists, perhaps the most difficult they have ever faced, since the 2011 elections, when Edi Rama lost the leadership of the Tirana Municipality after 12 years at its helm.
