Dimal Basha: LDK has illegitimate MPs

The MP elected by the Vetëvendosje Movement, Dimal Basha, after the failure of today's session, stated that there is a problem within the LDK for not voting on the verification of mandates.

Basha said that in the ninth legislature there are illegitimately elected deputies and that the LDK should ask the Prosecutor's Office to do its job, KosovaPress reports.

"I think that one problem is with the LDK, for not voting on the verification of mandates. I think that they are right for one reason only, that they are the only ones we have given evidence of having stolen votes during the campaign, they have illegitimate deputies in this Assembly of the Republic and they have people who were voted in and are staying outside and consequently I think that the LDK should ask for time. The LDK deputies should demand that the prosecution do its job, to sentence those who are here today to over a year in prison, who have stolen votes, and then bring about a more legitimate Assembly. So you have LDK deputies inside who have stolen votes, they do not deserve the position here, and consequently the LDK is not voting for that," he said.


The constitution of the ninth legislature has failed for the second time in two days. Chairman Avni Dehari from the LVV adjourned the session because, according to him, there was no consensus with the representatives of the political parties on how to proceed. The next new session has been called for April 19, at 12:00.

LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku said today that they have not changed their position regarding the vote on the report on the verification of MPs' mandates. Abdixhiku said that they will not vote on the report today either until the Kurti Government resigns.

The former head of the Vetëvendosje Movement parliamentary group, Mimoza Kusari-Lila, after the adjournment of the constitutive session, said that if the opposition does not want to talk about the report on the verification of the mandates of the deputies, "then they can resort to new elections."

The elected MP of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Time Kadrijaj, said that the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti is trying to illegally delay the constitution of the Kosovo Assembly, since he "does not have the votes to form a government." /Kp/Telegraph/
