Political parties are starting the "engines" of the electoral campaign for the May 11 parliamentary elections today.
This is because today the electoral campaign officially opens for the parties registered in the May 11 race.
The Democratic Party will open its campaign at 7:00 PM at "Mother Teresa" Square in Tirana, while on the 12th, at 5:00 PM, this party will unveil its full electoral program at the Palace of Congresses.
The DP has entrusted the task of campaign spokesman to Andi Mustafaj. He was one of the most voted candidates in the primaries, but did not run since he was not included in the closed list.
A month of electoral fever between the camps competing for power and those seeking to break the SP-PD binomial for the first time since pluralism in Albania.
The Socialists and Prime Minister Edi Rama will seek a fourth term after 12 years of government, with their slogan "Albania 2030 in the EU", while the Democrats will return after a long internal political war that created several factions that are now competing separately for parliamentary mandates.
A month of campaigning that foresees a busy agenda of electoral meetings in all 12 districts of the country, for the 140 mandates of the Assembly, where each force or coalition, according to the new electoral formula, has 186 candidates for deputies, where 46 are from the closed list and 140 from the open list.
The Socialist Party today mainly holds meetings with women in all 12 regions, with the motive that it is among the biggest supporters of this force that votes in every election, but also for bringing women closer to politics and including them in the country's leadership structures as much as possible.
The Democratic Party and the Alliance for a Greater Albania coalition will be the first to launch the campaign, with the slogan "For a Greater Albania." Work is underway to build the stage for the opening rally at Mother Teresa Square.
Sali Berisha himself promised big surprises. In addition to speeches by non-political figures, the keynote speaker at the meeting is expected to be Chris Lacivita, the man the DP says will lead the campaign from close quarters and occasionally from his office in the United States.
The arrival of Chris Lacivita as the Democrats' hope for a convincing campaign was commented on a day ago by Prime Minister Edi Rama.
His departure long ago raised suspicions and surprised everyone, while keeping even the Democrats themselves in suspense.
" You continue with your nonsense until the sheriff comes to town, or I'll take the blame on you. The elections are here and we'll see who comes and who falls ," said Socialist leader Rama yesterday about the American "sheriff."
The Socialist Party itself officially opens the campaign on April 12 at 12 noon, a symbolism that is related to the 12 stars on the EU flag, a destination that the Socialists have as their main promise.
Meanwhile, Lulzim Basha, who is entering these elections under the logo of the Euro-Atlantic coalition, will also open the campaign on April 12, an hour before the Socialists.
Friday the 11th, as the DP prepares for its opening rally, the SP will find itself on the ground in massive meetings with women in the country's 12 regions.
But what is the electoral projection of the major forces?
At the start of the campaign, the two political opponents have their own predictions about the outcome.
"There could be more than 77 MPs ," Rama said.
"I'm not a prophet, but you see the enthusiasm," Berisha replied.
THE CAMPAIGN OF THE LITTLE ONES
Agron Shehaj's 'Mundësia' party will also open its campaign tomorrow in a special way. Shehaj will conduct a bus tour from north to south with a personalized bus with his party's symbols. He will depart from Shkodra at 08:00 in the morning, Lezhë, Durrës, Kavajë, Lushnje, Fier, Vlorë, Selenica and at 20:00 he will close the tour in Saranda, while on April 13 he will hold a special meeting for the full presentation of the program.
The Albania Becomes Initiative will launch a campaign in Vlora on April 12, at 6:00 PM, in the square in front of "Flamurtari".
The Euro-Atlantic Coalition, led by Lulzim Basha, will also launch its campaign on April 12, at 11:00 AM, at Xibraku.
