The mayor of Kuçova previously convicted in Greece, risks losing his

The mayor of Kuçova, Kreshnik Hajdari, is in danger of losing the mandate he won in the local elections of May 14, where he won with a margin of 600 votes in the competition with the candidate of the coalition "Bashkë Fitomje" Lefter Maliqi.

This is because, in the answer that the General Prosecutor's Office sent back to the Central Election Commission, it is confirmed that Hajdari was convicted in the Greek state. There was a final sentence for the mayor by the Court of First Instance in Ioannina.

The CEC already has in its hands the decision of the Hellenic justice, where Kreshnik Hajdari was sentenced in 1999 to 4 months in prison, after being accused of "Illegally entering the Greek territory".

The sentence for the mayor of Kuçova was converted into a fine of 1500 drachmas, according to a decision made on June 23, 1999.

Chief Commissioner Ilirjan Celibashi is expected to convene the CEC on Tuesday to decide the fate of the mandate of the socialist Hajdari, who leads the municipality of Kuçova in his second term.

We remind you that before the May 14 elections, the Freedom Party requested from the Central Election Commission that Hajdar be stripped of the mandate he won in 2019 and not be allowed to compete in the elections again.

The PL vice-president, Endrit Braimllari, said at the time that Hajdari had hidden a sentence in Greece and according to the laws in force, he should not hold public office.

" On behalf of the "Together We Win" Coalition, we addressed the State Election Commission on 04.04.2023, regarding the verification of the purity of the image of the citizen Kreshnik Hajdari, who in this case is the acting mayor and the candidate of the Kučovo Municipality for mayor. the ranks of Rilindja, who in the self-declaration form has hidden the declaration of criminal conviction in the Greek state, this fact that "brings immediate exclusion at any time from the candidacy, election, appointment or from public office", said Brahimllari .
