The majority has agreed with the proposal of the head of the PD parliamentary group, Enkelejd Alibeaj, who has requested that May 10 be named as the start date of the presidential election process. The head of the socialist parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, said that May 16 will be the first round of voting for the President of the Republic.
According to Balla, as defined by the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, the discussion will take place only between parliamentary groups, which suggests that the group of former Prime Minister Berisha will not be present at the Conference of Presidents to discuss the process.
" If you will insist until the end and want more time, the conference of presidents to stop the work and continue on the 10th. Only in this case we do not have a criterion of a violation. The 10th is called the date of the beginning of the procedure and the 15th or 16 be the first round?
For the second part I do not take the constitutional risk. Attacks should not be more than 7 days and the constitution says. Date 16 to be the first round of development. I believe with this proposal we have met all the expectations for a serious process.
Given that this is an important process, I would like to invite all three chairmen of the WG, as well as Alibeaj, that in addition to this part related to the constitution, to enable a dialogue based on certain principles. The constitution has been simple but exhausting for the president. That's enough for us to identify the president. I think that we have our availability for a model process of electing the president in 2027 or 2032. The Regulation and the Constitution inform us that for each term we will set additional deadlines. "May 15 at 16:00, the deadline for the submission of candidates" , concluded Balla.
