LDK Holds Extraordinary Assembly Today

The Democratic League of Kosovo will hold its Extraordinary Assembly today, after the procedures set out in its statute were completed and the signatures of the delegates who requested that it be convened were verified.

The party announced that the request had secured the statutory support required from at least one-third of the delegates, thus allowing the meeting to be held.

The LDK Extraordinary Assembly is scheduled to begin at 18:00.

The meeting is taking place as the LDK faces internal tensions. A group of delegates has called for the removal of party leader Lumir Abdixhiku, arguing that the party must take political responsibility for the result of the June 7 parliamentary elections.

In its official statement, the LDK said that all actions had been taken in accordance with the party’s statute. It also stressed that the Assembly would be organized on the basis of internal democracy, transparency, and respect for the will of the delegates.

The Extraordinary Assembly is expected to be one of the most important political events within the LDK this year. Delegates will review the situation in the party and decide what steps to take next, while it remains to be seen whether Abdixhiku’s removal will be put to a vote or whether he will continue to lead the LDK.
