At the headquarters of the Democratic Party in Korçë, the voting process has begun for the election of the new head of the local branch, a contest taking place between two candidates at a sensitive moment for the opposition’s internal organization in the districts.
Two names in the race for branch leadership
Harito Zoti and Mikel Dishnica are competing for the leadership of the Democratic Party in Korçë. The branch membership is expected to decide this Saturday who will be entrusted with the local political leadership.
The race features two candidates, and attention remains on turnout and on how the will of the members will be reflected in the final result.
The official list shows around 4,800 voters
According to the official list, around 4,800 members are eligible to vote. This figure gives the scale of the process, although the real weight of the vote is usually measured not only by the number on the list, but also by actual turnout during the day.
Voters will express their preference for the candidate who will take over the leadership of the Democratic Party branch in Korçë.
The process is taking place at the party headquarters
Voting began at the party’s local headquarters and is expected to continue throughout the day. So far, this is the voting phase, with no official result yet for the winner.
The name of the new chair is expected to be announced after the process closes and the votes are counted.
The election of the head of the Korçë branch is seen as a test of the Democratic Party’s internal balances at the local level.
The conclusion of the vote will show which of the two candidates has managed to secure the greater support of the membership.
