Almost a week ago, the candidates for the head of the DP in Korça were officially announced. Until the last moment, there were two names, Eleina Qirici, former deputy of the Democratic Party, a figure in politics coming from the left, and another corsair boy, Harito Zoto, a barber decided by the latter to compete with the trust and the hope that there would not be another rival in the process.

CNA has brought the interviews of the 3 candidates that you can read below.

What caught our eye was a fact. After interviewing Dhimitri Çyfeku, the third candidate to run and proposed by DP structures, Harito Zoto and Eleina Qirici were on the same line. On the contrary, when our staff contacted them, they had the same "copy paste" message.

Anyway, let's look at a brief profile of the 3 candidates, as they are quite well known by Democrats, their political contributions and others.

Eleina Qirici, the former MP with a leftist background

Eleina Qirici

Eleina Qirici comes with a left "background". Moreover, during the time that she was elected deputy, in 2013, the DP also called her a communist who was elected a deputy of the DP.

At that time she had no political contribution to the DP, but came from an academic life. He was taken from the University of Korça, at that time vice chancellor and ran for parliament.

The fact is that she initially refused and was hesitant to be a DP representative, but then accepted.

Mrs. Qirici went to the Parliament. It is not that there was any great prominence because of her intellectual values ??for what she had to give for Korça. On the contrary, he made a mandate, tried to be playful and dignified. Afterwards, Lulzim Basha did not put her on the list anymore and she was one of the ladies who stayed in the DP by entering completely by accident, not because of political contributions, as he was completely left-wing, but because of her life academic, civic and family.

The second candidate is a boy from Korça, a citizen boy, a good boy, who is actually a barber, a respected boy in the city, who has been placed as a filler in the candidacy. Since Eleina Qirici thought that there would be no other candidate in the race, Harito Zoto decided to have a second name.

It is a complementary name established by Eleina Qirici, nothing more than that. So, it does not say anything about the structures of the Democratic Party.

Dhimitri Çyfeku, founder of the DP

Dhimitri Çyfeku

The third name is Dhimitri Çyfeku. The latter is the founder of the DP, with political contributions to the DP. During the opposition, he was an activist, while during the PD government, he was a leader in several institutions, where in fact there were no problems or rumors.

After that, he continued his political activity in DP. With the exception of Sali Berisha, he initially stood behind Lulzim Basha, then remained neutral and is now with Berisha, just like most of the democrats who were unclear in the first moments until they came out on the side of the leader of the DP, Mr. Berisha.

Dhimitri Çyfeku and Eleina Qirici, the main candidates in the race

There are two main candidates in the race. Dhimitri Çyfeku has strong ties with the Democratic Party, Eleina Qirici is less known in the DP.

PD of Korca

Perhaps in many structures and in rural areas they may not know her at all, perhaps somewhere they have not even heard her name because although she was a member of parliament, she did not stand out in the organizations and policies of the DP.

Mr. Çyfeku is an activist who has also run electoral campaigns, being campaign director in different areas, taking responsibility.

Both are different. Mrs. Eleina Qirici seems to be looking for the direction of the DP even without organizational experience to get the mandate of deputy.

PD of Korca

On the other hand, Dhimitri Çyfeku seems to have his position clearer with the statement that he does not want to be a deputy, he does not want to make a career, but he wants to be the chairman of the PD of Korça to unite the political currents, for to bring all the factors together and to prepare for the 2025 parliamentary elections.

More or less, these are the brief profiles and the way CNA reads the candidates for president of the DP of Korça, where Dhimitri Çyfeku seems to be the most advantaged candidate also due to his strong ties with the structures of the DP, due to organizational recognition and contribution of more than 30 years, but a dignified rival is also Eleina Qirici, who actually prepared a ground to compete alone with a formal rival, but apparently Dhimitri Çyfek's competition has put her in difficulties and looks like we're going to have a real race.

It is understood that the person with more contribution and strong connections, with more time in the opposition and in the organization of the DP will be advantaged in this race, as is the case of Dhimitri Çyfek./ CNA
