The floor leader of the Socialist Party Taulant Balla said on Wednesday to agree with the proposal made by the acting leader of the Democratic Party, Enkelejd Alibeaj, and not hold the first round of votes on May 10.
Instead, Balla recommended holding the first round on May 16.
Balla invited his counterparts from the other opposition groups to discuss “on criteria for the selection of the new president”.
On Wednesday, Parliament Speaker Lindita Nikolla convened a conference with the chairs of the parliamentary committees to set out the date for the selection of the new head of state.
The Socialist Party proposed May 10 for the first round of voting, but if any of the candidates fail to receive 84 votes, a second round will take place no later than 7 days after.
Parties can vote on a name that they both agree to until a third round, or else the ruling majority has the right to pass the candidate it wants with 71 votes in favor.
The entire procedure is expected to conclude within this month.
