TIRANA, March 3 /ATA/ – Chairman of the Democratic Party Lulzim Basha told a party leadership election meeting in the northwestern city of Lezha on Sunday that clearly defined rules and the electoral reform would pave the way for free and fair elections in Albania.
Basha reiterated DP requests for the new electoral reform.
“Our requests and position regarding the electoral reform have been already institutionalized. Guaranteeing free and fair elections would definitely call for much more than the rules of game, yet without rules we stand no chance of having an cleared path towards an electoral system to allow citizens to elect their representatives in parliament instead of the party leaders,” Basha told his party supporters.
He said that DP has tabled proposal for open candidate lists, electronic voting and ballot counting, and the Diaspora vote in elections.
Basha also reiterated his party’s support for the Special Anti-Corruption and Anti-Crime Prosecution Office (SPAK) and the efforts to put an end to impunity in Albania.
