The electoral reform and the election of the new People’s Advocate are two of the pending issues from the last parliamentary session.

Deputies return to parliamentary life on Monday, September 4, in the first session for this new session.

Electoral reform is one of the main issues which is expected to be part of the discussions on this political season.

So far, the parties have only set up the special commission which has not yet produced any concrete results.

In the last plenary session on July 21, there were no shortage of political statements, which had different positions regarding the postponement of the election reform commission deadline.

“There is no reasonable reason to indefinitely postpone the election reform commission. In 6 months of postponement in February, the commission has not met for a single day”, declared on July 21 the chairman of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party, Gazment Bardhi.

The co-chairman of the electoral reform commission, Damian Gjiknuri, declared at the time that the commission cannot remain hostage to the opposition’s disputes.

“The commission cannot remain hostage to the disagreements within the opposition. The opposition with all its colors and currents is represented there. Why was the activity not done, was not done because you did not agree with each other, with whom to do the activity”, said Gjiknuri

Another issue that parliamentary political parties did not find a common language was the election of the People’s Advocate.

Voting for the head of this institution requires a qualified majority of votes and the necessity to cooperate in order to vote for one of the candidates.

Even in this new session, it is expected that there will be no shortage of debates with the majority and the opposition.
