The ranking of candidates will be done by them, which means that in the closed list, that is, 1/3 of it, about 46 names at the national level, are almost determined now, without starting the primaries. By deducting from this figure the places that will be left to allies in what is considered a safe list, then the figure 46 can be reduced to 37-38 names.
On March 1, DP members will vote for the primaries, selecting the names that will compete for seats on the lists of candidate lists for deputies for the May 11 elections.
While the instructions that will be distributed to the branches regarding the process are awaited, what is known so far is that anyone who possesses a DP membership card, or whose name is on the membership lists of this party, will have the right to vote. The basis of the list of members is that of the referendum that Berisha organized on December 18, 2021, when he addressed the membership and asked them to be elected as chairman through the principle of 'one member, one vote'. Memberships that were made after this date can of course be added to this list, thus completing a list of voters who will have the right to vote.
The members' vote will not be exclusive, so they will choose their preferred name. Candidates for deputies will be voted on by members based on districts, while it is learned that there are over 400 names in the primary race. Most of them belong to the National Council, the Presidency of branches or other structures of this party, including activists. In fact, all members of the DP departments are included in the primary race, as well as those who two years ago were included in the primaries organized for mayoral candidates.
The regional political leaders, as well as the national DP campaign leaders, have been excluded from the primaries. But regardless of what the DP members decide with their votes, what will decide who will be on the final list of candidates is the central Presidency, i.e. Berisha and his trusted ones.
The ranking of candidates will be done by them, which means that in the closed list, that is, 1/3 of it, about 46 names at the national level, are almost determined now, without starting the primaries. By deducting from this figure the places that will be left to allies in what is considered a safe list, then the figure 46 can be reduced to 37-38 names.
And of course, this category includes the 12 political leaders of the regions, to be followed by a group of deputies or not, who appeared alongside Sali Berisha from the first days when he was declared 'non grata' by the US and showed loyalty in the most difficult political moments of the former Prime Minister since 1997.
In short, the entire primaries process will serve more to select a very few names for what is considered the safe list, and then there will be places on the open list, which constitute 2/3 of the number of candidates for MPs that will be filed with the CEC.
Of course, in what is considered an 'open list', ranking does not matter, as everything will be played out with preferential votes and candidates must hope that the entity they are running for receives votes beyond what can be considered safe mandates, i.e. the seats on the closed list.
And under such conditions, it seems that the entire game of the primaries is to ensure that the majority of those who will be considered winners are included in the open list, from where they will then begin the 'battle' to collect votes not just for the party, but also preferential votes for their name. /Pamphlet/
