The first rule of success in a parliamentary election race is to come out on top...
A decade or more ago, analysis dominated electoral television marathons. Journalists, but also statisticians or political experts who knew the numbers, the figures on the ground, the expectations, and who had radiographed the areas in terms of their political behavior.
Meanwhile, since the 2017 elections, the panels have been replaced with "puritanical" analysts and politicians who swear by the book without even thinking. The so-called fashion, or not very proven obsession, of going "viral" has also had an effect.
So, using harsh language or vulgar language for theatrical effect, so that the jokes get views on social media.
A phenomenon that of course does not only occur in Albania, as it has become part of the functioning of the media around the world, or even politics.
The discussion is no longer held in institutions but on X or Facebook. However, as much as noise has its effect, it is essentially real and objective analysis that creates a clearer idea of what is happening.
Our disease has actually caught many Kosovo media outlets, where, to be honest, analysis and logical discussion are more present than in ours. Analysts like Dukagjin Gorani or Blerim Latifi, even though they are oppositionists and opponents of Albin Kurti, even strong ones, are nevertheless analytical and logical in their discourse, not abandoning their ideas.
The first rule of success in a parliamentary election race is to come out on top. If this objective is achieved, then you are the first negotiator to influence and dominate events. But it is not a given that success will be achieved.
In the February 9 elections of this year, Albin Kurti emerged as the leading party, managing to secure only 57 mandates to form a new government, both times he tried. Kosovo's opposition parties refused to join forces to form a coalition government, even though they had the numbers together with the non-Serb opposition.
The one who most opposed this option was Lumir Abdixhiku of the LDK, who was afraid that rapprochement with the PDK would harm Ibrahim Rugova's party, as in the case after the Thaçi-Mustafa coalition.
