Rama: Who has received an MP mandate will be on a closed list

From meeting with the SP group, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was stopped in more detail on the list of parliamentary candidates in the May 11th elections, which will become public on 12th.

He said that any of the Socialists who will not be on the open list should announce in advance.

Any one of you who refuses to be on the open list must know, the fundamental principle must be: No male-gender MP who has received even a SP mandate will be on the closed list! It is the right of anyone who for various reasons will not be on an open list but must tell us before. Basically, the war must be done by those who have more experience and who have received more from voters and the SP, first.

Of course, there will be many young men and women on the open list! Second, the discussion has been, political leaders must be on the open list. The problem is that this would drive the whole process because it wouldn't allow any equality of chance in the race and on the other hand, it wouldn't guarantee any real political direction of the race. Because, political leaders would be focused on getting votes for themselves, with a more special status and creating inequalities by themselves, and the team would be disoriented. While circuit teams should be compact “, Rama said.

But will he run as an MP for Tirana? Rama said that decision has not yet been made fully, stressing that probably “may not be on the list at all”.
