A day after President Bajram Begaj decreed partial local elections in 6 municipalities in the country, the Central Election Commission has begun work on the administration and organization of this process, which will be held on November 9.
It is reported that the CEC meeting is expected to hold discussions and debates on a number of important acts that the CEC must undertake, regarding the determination of the date when political parties must register as competitors in the November 9 elections, coalitions if there will be any, and the registration of candidates for these elections.
It is not known whether electronic voting and counting will be applied in these elections.
President Bajram Begaj yesterday set November 9 as the date for by-elections in 6 municipalities in the country, including Tirana.
Begaj announced the decree for the partial elections, although there were discussions about Tirana since Veliaj has appealed it to the Constitutional Court. It is learned that Begaj has decided that in early November there will be elections in the capital, as well as in five other municipalities of the country, Vlorë, Berat, Mat, Tepelena and Cërrik.
While there was no problem for 5 municipalities, what was eagerly awaited was whether the President would schedule elections for Tirana or not. Veliaj appealed the decision based on Article 115 of the Constitution, but in the announcement issued by the Presidency, another legal argument is given.
So, according to Begaj, the “Veliaj” case is an administrative matter and Article 115 of the Constitution, which stipulates that in the event of an appeal to the Constitutional Court, the process is suspended, does not apply. He added that this case belongs to the Administrative Court.
The Socialists have chosen Ogerta Manastirliu, while the opposition is still without a concrete name that will face the former Minister of Education.
