He said that he and 151 other delegates had concluded that the LDK needed a change in leadership. However, most delegates voted for Abdixhiku to continue his term.
“There was only one item on today’s agenda, and it did not receive the required votes. A total of 152 delegates voted in favor of dismissal, while 170 voted against. This is the LDK’s political fate. We believed that change would bring success, while the majority concluded that the party should continue on its path with Abdixhiku. That is the outcome of the vote,” Zemaj said.
According to him, the vote was conducted democratically, while the organization and all procedures were carried out to the appropriate standard.
“The process was democratic, and the result must be accepted as it is. Procedurally, everything was well organized. Nevertheless, this is the decision that emerged from the vote. What matters is that the process was conducted democratically and that we remain united, as you can see,” Zemaj said.
The LDK MP also said that the party’s parliamentary group meeting would serve to review the options and determine the steps to be taken following this decision.
Following this result, Lumir Abdixhiku remains leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo.
