Today the elections are held for the head of the Muslim Community of Albania.
Voting will take place in the premises of the Tirana Madrasah, after the end of the 5-year term of the current president Bujar Spahiu, elected on March 2, 2019.
Candidates are the current mayor Spahiu, Eduard Shefki, Administrator of the Mufti of Durrës and Emirjon Vathaj, Mufti of Berat.
These elections are held amid accusations and controversies that the Muslim Community of Albania is captured by Fet'hullah Gülen's people, or as they consider it, the FETO organization. A part of the Muslim believers consider today's elections as "an orchestrated theater", as they have also warned of protests.
The Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has been asking Prime Minister Edi Rama for years to "clean up the last remnants of the FETO organization", of the cleric Fetullah Gülen, whom he accuses of terrorist activity and of being responsible for the failed coup d'état in 2016. He repeated this request during his last official visit to Ankara on February 20.
" Part of our agenda was the cleaning of the remnants of FETO in Albania, which continues its activities with the aim of casting a shadow over our relations. We will not allow this to achieve its objectives and we also see that the Albanian authorities are also aware of this. Our struggle with this structure will continue, and I thank the Turkish Maarif Foundation for its contribution to education in Albania" - emphasized Erdogan.
The Namazgja mosque in Tirana, invested by Turkey, has remained hostage to this request, which, although it has been finished for a long time, has not yet been inaugurated, because Erdogan is asking Rama to clear the KMSH from the "FETO" organization.
