When it was thought that the electoral process was finally closed, the Democratic Party decided to take a new legal step by taking the decision of the Regulatory Commission, which announced the final results of the May 11 elections, to the Electoral College.
Sources close to the blue headquarters say that early next week, the Democratic Party lawyers will file a lawsuit with the electoral court, challenging the decision to declare the election results. On August 28, the Regulatory Commission approved the announcement of the results with the votes of three members selected by the majority, while two opposition members, Muharrem Çakaj and Helga Vukaj, refused to support the process. They considered it the same as the Democratic Party's position, calling the May 11 elections a farce and accusing the State Election Commissioner, Ilirjan Celibashi, of double standards in handling the resignations of majority candidates compared to those of new parties.
According to this development, the Democratic Party's lawsuit may somewhat delay President Bajram Begaj's decree to convene the new Parliament, but it cannot block the process, as the Electoral College has until September 10 to make a final decision on the validity of the May 11 parliamentary elections.
