Who will be the candidates for LDK chairman?

The Democratic League of Kosovo will hold the 9th Electoral Assembly in 2019. But who wants to enter the race to run this subject remains to be seen. However, the names that have been assigned so far by LDK officials are Lutfi Haziri, Agim Veliu, Vjosa Osmani, Lumir Abdjiku and Avdullah Hoti.

Vjosa Osmani had also shown ambition to take over the LDK leadership in 2015. The elections at the time in LDK began with clashes within the party. The reports were even openly broken between her and Mustafa, when she came up with his counterCandidates, reports that normalized in the June elections. Vjosa Osmani, who turned out to be the most voted woman in Kosovo's general elections, will likely again target the LDK chairman's position.

Express has tried to take a stance on people who may be contenders for LDK chairman. Except Avdullah Hoti and Lumir Abdixhik, others have not been promoted.

In June's extraordinary elections, Isa Mustafa entrusted Avdullah Hoti with running for prime minister. That's also about the report that the pair is in between. However, for Express, the LDK parliamentary group's chief said it is not yet time to talk about these topics, and that the LDK has its chairman. He did not tell if he has ambitions in 2019 to take his former leader's place.

“in 2019 is the regular deadline, this is not the current topic because LDK has its chairman who has turned the party into the country's first”, Hoti said February.

Even the youngest member of LDK, who joined this subject shortly before the June elections, currently MP in the Kosovo Assembly, Lumir Abdixhiku, whose name has been referred to as chairman of this party, did not indicate whether he himself will compete, but said such topics will be discussed when the time comes.

“The LDK has a leader who is leading the party in the best possible way. We have work and obligations, others in the meantime. For now each member of the LDK will engage in LDK's return to government, and with that the state's return to normalcy. The other topics will be addressed when the téu comes times”, Abdjiku told Express.

Isa Mustafa had come to the helm of the LDK, defeating Fatmir Sejdiu, who took the post of first immediately after Ibrahim Rugova's death.

Sejdiu, who currently holds the post of honourary chairman, had pressed serious charges against Isa Mustaf during an interview for Express. He had also requested his resignation. “The LDK has taken the fall from the weak management of Isa Mustafa”, had declared former LDK chairman.

Results following local elections held on October 22nd have listed Isa Mustaf's LDK was the first party in the country.

In May of this year, the government led by Isa Mustafa did not survive a no-confidence motion. His government fell 78 votes. 34 MPs voted against, while another 3 abstained.
