Kërçeli criticizes the possibility of Përparim Rama leading the LDK: The party, he says, is being “rented out” and could end up as the PDK’s crutch

Ilir Kërçeli, a former Vetëvendosje MP, has reacted sharply to the debate over the possibility of proposing Përparim Rama to lead the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).

In a Facebook post, Kërçeli described such a development as an unusual “phenomenon” in politics, expressing doubts about the way the party’s leadership selection process is being conducted, “Bota sot” reports.

He also raised questions about whether such a figure should be placed at the head of a party with a long tradition, suggesting that, in his view, the LDK is facing a lack of internal alternatives and political direction.

If Përparim Rama is proposed for chairman of the LDK, then we are dealing with a phenomenon that deserves to enter the books of world politics.

In the election for chairman, all LDK members will have the right to vote, except the candidate for chairman himself, because he is still not a member of the party he aims to lead.

I hope that, after being elected chairman, his first task will be to fill out the LDK membership form.

But the question that arises is: what does the LDK need a character like Rama for?

Does it not have its own professors, its own intellectuals, its veteran politicians and the new generation of politicians who have carried the burden of the party for years?

If a party with the history, tradition and structure of the LDK cannot find its chairman from within, then the problem is not with the candidate, but with the party itself.

This only confirms what I said during the campaign: the LDK is no longer being led by its members, but is being rented out. Now, it is not even being required that the tenant be part of the house; it is enough that he likes the key.

And in the end, only one question remains: is the LDK choosing a chairman to strengthen itself, or is it preparing to officially become the PDK’s crutch, now even on paper?
