Kosovo/ LDK calls party assembly, chairman Abdixhiku expected to seek vote of confidence

The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) will hold its party assembly on January 31, where party leader Lumir Abdixhiku will seek a vote of confidence from delegates, party official Besian Mustafa announced on Monday.
The LDK, the oldest party in Kosovo, is experiencing one of the most difficult periods in its history, after the December 28 snap elections brought its second-worst result ever.
Mustafa said that LDK members held "an almost 4-hour, open and democratic discussion, expanding the debate on every possible point and also analyzing the results of the December 28 elections."
"In LDK we never run away from responsibility. Not even when it is easy, and especially when it is difficult. Because this house was not built for personal comfort, but for service and responsibility towards an ideal greater than each of us. Therefore, we face responsibility; before the membership," he wrote.
Abdixhiku did not mention a vote of confidence or resignation, but weeks ago, he had said that he was offering his resignation and that he would only leave if the party assembly voted to dismiss him.
Mustafa stressed on Monday that Abdixhiku – who took over the party leadership in 2021 – will seek a vote of confidence in the Assembly on January 31.
"This is a form that the party chairman Lumir Abdixhiku himself is requesting. In this Assembly, he will request a vote of confidence. So, the Assembly, which has 355 delegates, will decide on this request whether they will still have confidence in the chairman Lumir Abdixhiku. So, it is a request for a vote of confidence," said Mustafa.
Asked whether there will be a competition for a new party leader if Abdixhiku is dismissed, Mustafa said it is too early to talk about this.
"There needs to be another process to come up with other candidacies to have an electoral process in LDK. Now we are in the confidence vote. We will see the result of the confidence vote first," said Mustafa.
Meanwhile, Abdixhiku underlined after the meeting of the Presidency of the Assembly on January 31 that "it is not a crisis, but an opportunity."
"An opportunity to be heard, to unite around our values, and to emerge stronger from this process," he added./ REL
