In the first meeting of 2025, Prime Minister Edi Rama changed his political team for the May 11 elections. Pandeli Majko will no longer be a political leader in Kukës, a task that will now be carried out by Eduard Shalsi, one of Rama's early collaborators from the time when he ran the Municipality of Tirana. Sources within the SP inform A2CNN that this movement comes from the mutual dissatisfaction with the objectives of the work in Kukës, both by Prime Minister Rama and by Majko himself, who seems to have had enough with running the election campaign. local of 2023.
With this change, Majko returns to Tirana, but the dilemma still remains whether he will replace Shalsi in unit 1 or find comfort in the area he knows best, in unit 5, where in the 2021 elections he was on the losing list in 19th place, one place below Eduard Shalsi. The latter will have to challenge himself, just 4 months before the elections, by leading a political team in an unknown constituency. Meanwhile, according to the current rule of the socialist leader, Shalsi does not have to be sure on the candidacy list, as a deputy of four legislatures in the Parliament of Albania.
At the presidency meeting, the leaders of the districts reported on the contacts made with immigrants living abroad. The phase that follows with the start of the registration on January 11 and ends on March 4, the date when the political teams, together with their staffs, will report to Edi Rama if they have met the objectives, or if the numbers will remain in the contact book.
