Ilir Alimehmeti has commented on developments in the Democratic Party and the process for electing the party's leader, emphasizing that he does not intend to run for this position.
He stated that a process with more than one candidate would have made the race more interesting, but added that there was no doubt about the reconfirmation of Sali Berisha as head of the DP. According to him, the election of the president is the responsibility of the membership and is carried out according to the principle of “one member, one vote”, although this system, according to Alimehmet, has its shortcomings.
Alimehmeti said that there are other figures in the party who can contribute to the leadership and that a winning platform requires long-term work and broader political organization.
Speaking about his name in relation to the leadership of the DP, he stated that his political objective has been focused for years on Tirana and not on leading the party at the national level.
"When there is only one candidate, it is a reconfirmation. There is no way it could be otherwise. A race would have been more interesting. Races for opposition leader are not subject to the electorate, but to the membership itself. It is the membership that decides, one member one vote, for the leader. It is not a perfect system, it has its shortcomings. But that is how it is decided by the statute. Then the electorate has its own right within a party to see the total and make its own decisions. There is also a different opinion in the membership. There could also be a vote to a different extent. But I had doubts that Berisha would not be confirmed as the leader of the DP. I think there are other figures. Whether we win or not, this is another matter. Who is at the leading levels, branch leaders, like we had Mr. Elezi. A winning platform would require a longer work. I do not see anyone offering a serious proposal in this total aspect. I understand the kindness, but the ambition of the person must also be understood relevant. I do not have this ambition. I have another objective, I have clearly shown it for years. My objective has been directed towards Tirana. The ambition of the leader of the DP and tomorrow prime minister, is a different kind of issue, a competition, territorially broader. I think there are more advanced people,” he said on the show 'This Week'.
Focusing on the harsher stance of Salijanj and Berisha, Alimehmeti said that he does not support this form of reaction.
"The harsher tone is not positive. I cannot support this harsher tone. I don't think there would be a problem if he ran. I didn't see any problems. But the leadership would decide. Would there be a competition? I think there would be, but it doesn't meet those conditions. You shouldn't go into the competition just for one position, but with a team for all positions," Alimehmeti said.
Alimehmeti also commented on the 'problems' in the DP and the confrontation with the 'Rama' government. He asserted that the political crisis in the country will be resolved with a transitional government.
