Socialist Party Submits its Candidate Lists with Surprises

The Socialist Party, under the slogan “Albania, our future”, presented near the deadline its list of candidates for the next 25 April parliamentary elections. This time the leader of the party, Prime Minister Rama, chose to put some of the biggest names of the party in less favourable positions in the candidate lists, in order to give a clear message that they should fight for every single vote. For this purpose, he decided to lead by example by positioning himself at number 8 in the candidate lists of both Vlora and Durrës. In both these counties, the Socialist Party won 8 seats in the last elections. This tactic created quite discontent among some of the most well-known figures of the Socialist Party, who decided to not be placed on the bottom of the lists, such as the actual Minister of Culture Elva Margariti, or the MP Musa Ulqini, while other big names of the party were not part of the list, such as the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Ditmir Bushati, or Anastas Angjeli, Sadri Abazi, Sandër Lleshaj etc.
