The recount for Tirana continues, what resulted from the opening of Kamza's
Counting at the "Farie Hoti" Sports Palace

The counting of votes for the Tirana region continues at the "Farie Hoti" Sports Palace. Today is the second day of the recount, while yesterday 85 ballot boxes of the Kamza municipality were opened out of a total of 1282 in the Tirana region.

The opening of the ballot boxes resulted in only minor errors, which did not result in any change in the mandates, nor in the ranking of the candidates on the open list. The recount showed that the SP had received 42 more votes, the DP-ASHM had received 19 more votes, the PSD had received 7 more votes and the Lëvizja Bashkë 1 more vote.

The opening of the first 85 boxes showed that the parties that had counters, PS (42), PD (19) and PSD (7), received additional votes unfairly, either at the expense of smaller parties (-5 Basha's KEA, -3 Shehaj's Mundesia), or among invalid votes.

Can anything change?

In the Tirana district, the only mandate that can be questioned is the second deputy of the party "Mundësia", which if lost will pass to the DP, and will have 14 deputies. For this to happen, from the recount of votes, 1200 votes must come out in favor of the DP or 117 votes less for Agron Shehaj's party. If these votes are 'found', it is not Erald Kapri who will enter parliament, but Ilir Alimehmeti. For Mundësia to retain its mandate at the expense of the SP, the latter must lose about 4500 votes.

As for the internal party battle, both camps have been trafficking votes within the family. Ilir Alimehmeti was the one who asked for the boxes to be opened, but it turned out that they have received 4 votes so far. His rival Jorida Tabaku also had 11 votes deducted from her account, not reducing the difference of 2400 votes between them.
