In the case of the Socialist Party, the quotient is 16.602 votes, which means that a candidate that is below number 18 from the primary candidate list must gather more than 12.602 in order to start competing for a post in the list of winners.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that \u2013 if the trend persists \u2013 candidates like Fatmir Xhafaj (23), Ornaldo Rakipi (30), Pandeli Majko (19), Halit Valteri (35), and Eljo Hyska (33) may seriously bring down Arben P\u00ebllumbi (8), Toni Gogu (11), Fidel Ylli (15) or Eduard Shalsi (18).<\/p>\n<p>Strong competition has also been anticipated between candidates Mimi Kodheli (21) and Dall\u00ebndyshe Mici (22) which might bring down Najado \u00c7omo (2) and Ermonela Valikaj (13).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The acting Minister of Infrastructure Belinda Balluku is so far the most voted candidate of the Socialist Party in Tirana.
