Hysamedin Feraj of the Vetëvendosje Movement (VV) issued a statement criticizing the LDK regarding the candidacy of Vjosa Osmani for the presidency. During discussions between VV and LDK, Feraj asserted that the electorate had not endorsed Osmani for the top office. He stated that, in his view, the people did not want her to be president.
The LDK had reportedly advocated for the inclusion of a presidential role as a form of political institutional balance. However, Feraj countered this argument by emphasizing that the mandate for such a role, specifically for Osmani, had not come directly from the voters. Feraj wrote, “LDK is the only party that proposed its candidate for president for a direct vote by the people.
The people did not vote for her.”
The political tension was highlighted by the subsequent inability to constitute the Parliament of Kosovo on that day, an outcome attributed to Albin Kurti requesting further time. This action drew criticism from opposition groups. The exchange between Feraj and the LDK underscores a current point of contention regarding the legitimacy of political appointments and the perceived will of the electorate.
