Halil Geci: The opposition is seeking power without winning it through the vote

Activist Halil Geci has commented on the country’s political developments, criticizing opposition parties for their continued demands to hold new elections.

He believes the opposition is failing to secure citizens’ trust through the vote and, instead of reflecting, is seeking a repeat of the electoral process in the hope that the result might change.

“Power is won through the vote, not through wishes or political calculations. If citizens do not trust you today, the solution is not to demand endless elections, but to change your approach and political offer,” Geci wrote.

According to him, citizens are already tired of uninterrupted political crises, and therefore their verdict must be respected. He stressed that democracy functions through the vote, not through the organization of consecutive elections.

OPPOSITION PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO WIN THROUGH THE VOTE, SO THEY ARE DEMANDING ENDLESS ELECTIONS

Successive defeats are not pushing the opposition toward reflection, but toward demands for new elections, in the hope that what citizens did not give them today, they will be given tomorrow, while voter fatigue with the opposition will cost them at the ballot box.

In a democracy, power is won at the ballot box, not at political tables. Any attempt to come to power without the citizens’ verdict is unacceptable and runs counter to the very principles on which a democratic state functions.

The opposition’s behavior in Kosovo is creating the impression that it has decided to keep the country in an endless cycle of elections, hoping that the result will change not because of citizens’ conviction, but because of the repetition of the electoral process.

With these actions by the opposition, dragging the country into consecutive elections, even if it were to demand elections every month, the citizens’ verdict at the ballot box would remain the same. Because the result does not change by repeating elections, but by changing policies, the approach, and the offer made to citizens.

But power is not taken through wishes, nor through political calculations. Power is won through the vote. If citizens do not trust you today, the answer is not to demand endless new elections, but to reflect on the reasons why you have lost their trust.

Successive defeats are not changed by changing the election date. What can change is only the political approach, the program, and the alternative offered to the citizen. Otherwise, the result remains the same, while citizens’ fatigue and disappointment only increase.

The citizens of Kosovo are tired of continuous political crises and of endless demands for new elections every time the opposition loses. Democracy does not function by voting repeatedly until the opposition wins. Democracy functions by respecting the citizens’ verdict and working to deserve their trust in the next elections.

For the opposition, the message is clear: give up dreams of power without the vote, because without citizens’ support, power remains unattainable. In politics, the winner is not the one who demands more elections, but the one who convinces more citizens.

In the end, the citizen is the only arbiter of democracy. And if the opposition continues to tire the country with constant demands for elections, the strongest answer will come precisely where the final verdict is delivered: at the ballot box.
