The summer telenovela for a seat in the Assembly donated by Adriatik Lapaj and Endri Shabani, on Monday, August 25, will produce a new series starring the Electoral College, which is expected to put an end to the entire saga of complaints about the May 11 process.
In the electoral court, Adriatik Lapaj will request that the sole mandate be transferred from the first of the closed list to the first of the open list, which he leads himself, hoping to overturn the decision of the Complaints and Sanctions Commission, but such a move seems mission impossible.
The five members of the KAS, in their decision of July 30 to transfer the mandate to Ana Dajko, the first of the closed list, have also analyzed the element of the gender quota. In the argument of this body, even if the mandate is transferred, in all cases it must pass into the hands of a woman, since the Electoral Code clearly stipulates that a woman cannot be replaced by a man.
"If the candidate chooses not to become part of the Assembly, then it is the Assembly that has the competence to put the CEC into motion, requesting the name of the replacement candidate, who, pursuant to point 2, article 164, of the Electoral Code, must also come from the closed list of the subject and must also belong to the under-represented gender," the KAS decision states.
The issue of gender quota was reflected in the Electoral Code as a mechanism to prevent men from taking women's place, an important element that Adriatik Lapaj seems not to have thought through well. In the event of Ana Dajko's resignation, the turn goes to the second, Livia Stavri, Endri Shabani's partner, whose stances were the spark that gave life to the summer telenovela.
Whatever the decision of the College for the single mandate of "Albania Becomes", it does not affect the election result, but only gives the green light to the certification of the result so that, de jure, the 140 deputies who emerged from the elections will have the opportunity to be sworn in in the first session of the new parliamentary legislature that starts on September 10./ TCH
