Four months before the elections, Prime Minister Edi Rama seems to have changed his political strategy regarding the candidate list. He will protect political leaders in these elections as well by placing them on safe lists.
According to sources at the pink headquarters, this change in the party chairman comes with the reasoning that if the leaders of the electoral teams were on an open list, then their focus would shift to securing personal votes and not to coordinating the work of the entire team.
According to this decision and referring to the result that the PS received in 2021 only one MP from Kukës, for Eduard Shalsi, who replaced Majko, everyone in Kukës will have to work to get him to Parliament. For Shkodra, Berat and Durrës, Rama will not have this "headache" as these three districts are led by mayors.
It is also learned that the head of the pink headquarters has asked their associates to include candidates with influence in the area on the list, as well as potential names representing all areas of the district.
They are also obliged to have young people from the "MP we want" platform on their teams.
But before we close the lists, the socialists need to register immigrants, who should be potential voters for the majority. That's why the leftists landed in Italy and Greece this weekend.
The political leaders of Vlora, Gjirokastra, and Fier, along with MPs and deputy ministers, will take care of the registration of immigrants in Athens.
Meanwhile, Albanians in Thessaloniki will be under the care of the political representative for the Korça region, together with the Secretary for Foreign Relations at the Socialist Party.
The political leader for the Diaspora will land in Italy along with the mayor of Vlora, MPs and the secretary for immigration at the pink headquarters.
Not only the registration of the diaspora, the socialists have also established "technical assistance" with dedicated people in cities with the most Albanian immigrants.
The diaspora vote for the Socialist Party is seen as an important element to obtain a fourth mandate, with the minimum objective of preserving the mandates they have today, 75 MPs, A2 reports.
