A woman is elected for the first time/ Here is who the new head of the DP branch

In the elections held this weekend in the DP branch in Peqin, the membership voted for the new branch president, which will be led by a woman for the first time.

Enkelejda Gripshi is the new head of the DP branch in Peqin who ran against Armand Kurti, two candidates with active roles both within the party structures and in local public life. She becomes the first woman to take on this position since the party's founding in the city.

This development is seen as a signal for openness and renewal within local structures, as well as for the increased role of women in politics. In a reaction on social media, Gripshti thanked the members who trusted her with their votes for election to this position.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every member and supporter who trusted me with their vote today for the position of Chairwoman of the Democratic Party in Peqin. This trust is a great responsibility for me and a motivation to work every day with dedication, honesty and transparency for the good of our city and all democrats. Together we will build a stronger, more open and closer to the people structure. I am grateful for your support and trust — our journey has just begun! Thank you from the bottom of my heart," her reaction reads.

The voting and counting process was considered orderly and transparent, while the participation of members indicates an increased interest in local political life. /CNA
