A recount in Tirana could expose the 'secret sauce' and expose vote-smuggling among open-list candidates. Many of the socialist open-list candidates stepped forward to push for a review of preferential votes after a threat from Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Two members of the KAS decided to open the Tirana ballot boxes and recount the votes for both the subjects and the candidates of the open list. The decision of the two members of the KAS, representatives of the DP in this commission, comes at a moment when it seemed that the May 11 electoral process was heading towards a conclusion, with Sali Berisha's Democrats contesting the result and sticking to the version that they would not recognize it, while Edi Rama has avoided any comment on the elections that gave him his 4th consecutive governmental mandate.
"Regarding the request for the examination of ballot boxes for the Tirana region, KAS rejects it by a majority vote, but at the request of two KAS members, the examination of ballot boxes for the Tirana region will be carried out. Since this process takes time, given that there are 1282 VCs, the date for the start of the recount and revaluation will be determined at another time where political parties have the right to appoint observers while the process will be examined by the CEC administration, so this session is suspended for the time being," said Ledio Braho, a member of KAS, who together with Elvis Çefa requested the opening of the boxes.
But what is expected from the recount of votes in the largest district that produced 37 mandates, where the Socialists took 19 of them, the Democrats 13, Mundësia 2, while the PSD, 'Nisma Shqipëria Bëhet' and the Together Movement each secured 1 seat in the new Parliament that begins work in September.
Berisha's Democrats hope to win the 14th mandate from the recount, taking it away from Agron Shehaj's 'Mundësia' Party. Although the latter has expressed confidence that the two mandates secured in Tirana will not be revoked, the DP, on the other hand, is seeking the 14th mandate that goes to Ilir Alimehmet, whom they lost by about 1,300 votes in the recount. In this case, Erald Kapri from 'Mundësia' loses the mandate.
The DP specifically requested the re-evaluation of 16,788 invalid votes, thus hoping for an additional mandate.
But a recount in Tirana could open the 'latter of the sheets' and expose vote trafficking among the open list candidates. Many of the socialist candidates on the open list were forced to push forward demands for a review of preferential votes after a threat from Prime Minister Edi Rama, who strongly urged his own not to engage in such a process. But with the recount, everything on the socialist open list could be overturned and mandates could move from one name to another, especially for those on the edge of the line.
In such conditions, Xhemal Qefalia may hope to take the mandate from Ornaldo Rakipi, who ranked above Qefalia by a margin of 500 votes. But Blerina Gjylameti will also hope to return to the Assembly by knocking out Olta Xhaçka, who was declared the winner by counting with about 140 votes more than her socialist colleague.
But the recount of votes could create problems for the commissioners, who, if vote trafficking or other bargaining is proven during the process, could face justice. In such a situation, they could become subjects of SPAK, as their actions could be classified not as 'human errors' due to fatigue, but as an electoral crime. And here, both DP and SP counters could go before SPAK, who, with or without orders, could be identified as the 'black sheep' of the taint of the May 11 elections. /Pamphlet/
