This 'war' seems to be worrying Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Recent changes to the Electoral Code have made things more difficult for candidates on open lists, as the only way to win a parliamentary mandate is to be the one with the most votes on the open lists. This has apparently sparked a kind of "war" within the Socialist Party in Tirana, where everyone has the same goal: winning a parliamentary mandate.
This 'war' seems to be worrying Prime Minister Edi Rama, as the competition on the ground to capture every nominal vote has begun to become fierce, even affecting the party's structures.
The limitation of the areas where you can campaign makes it difficult for candidates to maximize their votes, which has led many of them to go to their colleagues' electoral areas to collect votes for their name. Faced with these conditions of "clash" among his own, Rama has been forced to show the red lines to the candidates. He is learned to have sent a message to the socialists that no candidate, even a current MP, should use the SP structures of another area to collect personal votes.
"No MP should open their own offices outside the area designated by the political leader. The MP is free to hold meetings wherever they want, but in no way should they use the structure for their meetings. The structure is in function of the common goal, not to become a shooting target for each MP," Rama is reported to have said, according to " A2CNN " sources .
For Edi Rama, the Socialist Party is more important than any MP, which is why he has forbidden the leftists from translating their friendships into preferential votes for colleagues that the president has thrown into open battle.
"MPs on the closed list should categorically not ask for votes for any MP on the open list, but only for number 5. Everyone should be told that you are free to cast preferential votes! It is also not good for MPs on the open list to ask their colleagues on the closed list for votes in the respective area, as the first puts them in a difficult position, the second pushes them towards disrupting the equality of the competition and the third makes them distort the structure ," the leader of the Socialist Party is reported to have said.
With this directive, a SP candidate, who has been assigned unit 3 as an electoral zone, cannot seek the help of the SP branch in unit 5 to support him with a vote on May 11. But the desire to become an MP is very great for some on the open lists and it may happen that someone will not obey the "laws" of "Bablok" and cause anger among the socialists, disrupting a lot of work for the SP in Tirana. As the election date approaches, the situation may heat up as someone may not be able to get their accounts right, thus making the SP a "time bomb" until May 11, how capable Rama will be of keeping them in subjection until the election date remains to be seen.
