Who are four candidates aiming to take over LDK leader

The LDK statue stipulates that candidacies for mayor take place in the work of the assembly. Article 25 of the statute envisions that “which candidacy must be approved by 50 percent plus 1 of the delegates present”. Taking into account the fact that the LDK assembly has 355 delegates, including the party chairman, each potential candidate needs 178 support votes to enter the candidate list for chairmanship.

But if the assembly does not approve more than one candidacy, then the assembly decides on how to elect and vote for chairman.
