The deadline expires, the first round without a candidate for President of Albania

Share

At 16:00 today, the official deadline for accepting candidacies for the new President of the Republic of Albania ended.

The Albanian Parliament has announced that there is no registered candidacy, while on Monday at 17:00 the first round will be held to elect the new head of state.

The Socialists still keep the proposed names in the envelopes discreet, while the opposition is involved in two parallel groups of negotiators who will aim to pull out one or more consensual candidacies that would also require a majority vote.

However, the first round for the President, the Socialists and Democrats consumed it without any candidate.

The Constitution stipulates that the first three rounds take place with 84 votes, while in the last two rounds the President of the Republic can be elected by a simple majority, where the majority has enough votes to elect the President alone.

Taulant Balla stated after the negotiations this weekend that the SP’s goal is to move towards a consensual name with the opposition, while the PD allies demand that unlike the proposal of Enkelejd Alibeaj, the new head of state be a political profile.
