(4 years ago)The Kosovo Assembly has failed to elect two Constitutional Court judges. None of the three of the five candidates who went through the third round of voting managed to get the votes of most MPs to become judges in the final authority for interpreting the Constitution in the country. 79 MPs voted in the final round. [...]
79 MPs voted in the final round. Etrur Maloku received 43 votes, Bardh Vokshi 41 votes and Hilmi Jashari 18 votes. Five votes were invalid.
Etrur Maloku, Bardh Bocshi and Hilmi Jashar were the three candidates who fought to the end for two free positions of the Constitutional Court judges.
Of the total five candidates, Shukri Sylejmani was eliminated in the first round of voting, according to an election procedure approved in advance by the Parliament, which specified that in the event none of the candidates gets the majority of votes of all MPs, in each round would be eliminated the candidate who gets the least vote.
In the second round, Hilmi Jashari and Vigan Qorroll both received 18 votes, which prompted a vote to take place only between the two that decided which of them would qualify to take the race in the third and final round of voting.
Jashari won the race with Qorroll to go to the finale, where he failed to get the necessary votes of most of all MPs.
The special commission to review the nominations of candidates for the Constitutional Court's court brought the names of five candidates to the country for voting.
By the written and oral test they submitted to, Hilmi Jashar was valued with 8.9 points; Etrur Maloku with 8.6 points; Union Hyseni with 8.4 points (has left the race itself); Gigan Qorrolled with 7.9 points, Bardh Vokshi with 7.7 points and Shukri Sylejmani with 7.5 points.
