Prime Minister Edi Rama's meeting with ministers and regional political leaders has ended after almost 7 hours.
In the 7 hours of discussions that accompanied the meeting between the head of government and the ministers and political leaders of the Socialist Party, which was held at the Brigades Palace, the list of candidates for deputies in the May 11 elections was also discussed.
Political leaders have submitted preliminary lists to the head of the Socialist Party.
Meetings were held "head-to-head" between Rama and each political leader regarding the names for deputies in each district.
It is learned that Prime Minister Rama himself may run in Tirana, as he declared a few days after Mayor Erion Veliaj ended up behind bars.
The scenario is for Edi Rama to be on the capital's open list, which would create space for the SP leader to seek and receive as many votes as possible.
Referring to the Tirana list, as Rama himself declared today, there will be more women on the safe list than men. While Rama himself and the so-called "veteran" MPs with more than one mandate will not be on the safe list.
Meanwhile, political leaders will be on the closed list, as well as some of the ministers in Tirana, Elbasan, and Vlora.
Meanwhile, there will be mayors who will leave their positions to enter Parliament.
The Mayor of Berat, Ervin Demo, who is also the political leader of the region, has expressed interest in being on the list of candidates for deputy. The Mayor of Dimal, Juliana Mema, the Mayor of Tepelena, Tërmet Peçi, and the Mayor of Mat, Agron Malaj, have also requested a place on the list.
