an hour ago2017 Local Elections: Here is the truth that Albin Kurti is not telling you
Periskopi(5 years ago)
(5 years ago)The 2021 local elections have given Vetevendosje a cold shower that for seven months in government is failing to complete citizens' expectations. But Albin Kurti as always insists that these elections were not actually bad for his party, citing the 2017 local elections. But what are [...]
Compared to the 2017 local elections, Vetevendosje fares best in the 2021 local elections. But what is never being mentioned is that those elections were held just a few months after the extraordinary central elections held in June.
In the June 2017 elections, Vetevendosje would receive a historic score of 200,000 votes [205 thousand votes] for the first time in party history.
Translated for percentages, Albin Kurt's party, then headed by Wisar Ymer, would earn 27.49 percent.
But in those local elections, the party led by Albin Kurti would receive 166 thousand, 95 votes, or more than 20 per cent of the vote. There are no second rounds counted here.
So although there was a decline in national elections, this was a very small decline compared to the decline in these choices.
About 34 thousand votes were lost by VV by national elections in local ones in 2017, and over 200 thousand have now been lost in 2021.
We remember that Vetevendosje in October 2017 would win the municipality of Pristina, Kamenica and Prizren after the runoffs, until it would get Mitrovica's one without a vote. /Periscope
