PDK candidate for deputy, Bekim Haxhiu, has formally submitted a complaint to the Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel (PZAP) requesting a comprehensive recount of the votes cast for candidates affiliated with the Democratic Party of Kosovo. According to Haxhiu, this request is not predicated on dissatisfaction with the final election outcomes, but rather stems from specific discrepancies identified during a preliminary recount conducted by the Central Election Commission (KQZ). Haxhiu stated that the review process involving 185 ballot papers, which represents approximately 3.52 percent of the total votes received by the PDK, revealed instances of error during the initial tabulation.
He highlighted that this specific recount process resulted in the identification of six votes that had not been accounted for in the original count. The candidate emphasized the critical nature of accurate vote counting, noting that when the margin separating candidates is narrow, such as the reported difference of 102 votes, every individual ballot carries significant weight. For Bekim Haxhiu, any inaccuracy in the counting process could potentially have a direct and measurable impact on the results.
The filing of this complaint initiates a formal review process, focusing specifically on the methodology and execution of the vote tallying. The PZAP is now tasked with examining the findings presented by Haxhiu regarding the need for a full recount to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the electoral data.
