TIRANA, April 28 /ATA/ State Election Commissioner Ilirjan Celibashi took under consideration today the request of the “Democratic Party-Alliance for Great Albania” coalition for the immediate interruption of the advertisement broadcast of the “Socialist Party of Albania”.
After hearing the claims, there will be another session on administration of evidence.
In today’s session, the commissioner also reviewed 21 reports of violations filed by the election campaign monitors for the period 24-28 April 2025.
Thus, the “Democratic Party-Alliance for Great Albania” coalition has opened electoral offices in the municipalities of Dibra, Fier, Kamza, Këlcyra, Korça, Përmet, Puka and Tirana.
The Commissioner gave the entities a 24-hour deadline to close the electoral offices, while the electoral subjects should confirm by facts that they are not electoral offices, but the headquarters of their party affiliated branches.
Also, the commissioner also reviewed the report of the Audiovisual Media Authority on the coverage of the election campaign by the Audiovisual Media Service Provider, for the period 17-23 April 2025. AMA has found that “Bulevard TV” and “6+1 TV” have broadcasted advertisements outside the permitted time slots, while “Shijak TV” has applied screen division during the broadcast to show posters of the candidates running for MPs.
The Commissioner said that he would continue with decision-making in the next session. /j.p/p.s./
