The Democratic Party has mathematically won the Lezha district with a very small difference in votes from the Socialist Party.
The counting of the Diaspora envelopes was accompanied by tension on the steps of the Olympic Park, where groups from both parties, including MPs and numerous observers, kept track of each vote on their behalf.
There was tension at times, even bordering on physical confrontation, as Justice Minister Ulsi Manja harshly addressed democrat Gjin Gjoni, telling him that he "forgave him once when he went to Besnik Dervishi's house," referring to the Commissioner for the Right to Information.
This was not the only incident, as the Democrats contested the process several times with the claim of Gjin Gjoni and Jorida Tabaku that more votes came out in the final ballot boxes than what was reported on the ballots by the CEC.
Next, it was the leader of the Socialist Party for the Diaspora, Taulant Balla, who contested a ballot at the Lezha district booth, which sparked the reaction of the democrats in the hall.
In the end, it was the right-wingers who rejoiced, as the counting of the last Diaspora ballots was greeted with applause from the DP legislators and observers in the hall. Congratulations on the victory were not lacking from the socialists either, marking a transition from "war to peace."
Although he did not receive the mandate in Lezha, socialist candidate Admir Kadeli congratulated his opponents Agron Gjekmarkaj and Kastriot Piroli on their victory with a cake, with the latter coming in second with preferential votes from the PD-ASHM coalition with 5,632 votes. (A2 Televizion)
