The Democratic Party of Kosovo has decided to enter a new phase of reshuffle, and this will start with preparation for internal elections, the process expected to last up to 9 months.

Betim Joshi from the PDK has said where there is an election cycle that will start from underseas, branches to election the party chairman.

The “is the new electoral cycle, ranging from underseas, branches and until party chairman. This internal electoral process in the PDK will last approximately 9 months, until the Konvente call, where domestic elections include the PDK chairman, who at the conventions, will decide whether to remain PDK chairman”, Betim Djosi told Periskopi.

What did Bedri Hamza say?

Chairman The PDK's Bedri Hamza yesterday has assembled branch heads with whom he discussed the process.

“The PDK is entering a new phase of reshuffle. The internal elections, which I discussed today even with branch heads, are the necessary step for strengthening the PDK. We aim more because Kosovo needs more. It also needs a stronger, more open and more organised PDK. This requires continued work, active branches and greater space for young people at any party level.
This is the way for a PDK closer to citizens and always in Kosovo service”, Hamza wrote on Facebook yesterday.

We remember that November 17th, The PDK had held the party convention, in which Bedri Hamza was elected the new chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo.
Hamza was elected through open voting and there was no vote against her.

He did not have counterCandids and his election took place after Memli Krasniqi resigned from the party leader.

Krasniqi has been part of the PDK for nearly two decades, initially as leader of the party's youth and then vice president of the party before being elected chairman in 2021.

Under Memli Krasniqi's leadership, The PDK, except that it came in second in national elections, won six municipalities in local elections at 2025, undergoing a small drop at the local level compared to the preliminary elections. /Periscopi
