We see this as a process that is more far-reaching than just changing the leader\u201d, said Nishani.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have faith in the political power of DP\u2019s members and that we will bring the party at the top. Albania will win when we oust this form of governance, we have all the forces and resources to do that\u201d, said the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Asked from Euronews Albania journalist Xhensil Shk\u00ebmbi on his intent to run for the party\u2019s chairmanship, Nishani denied it categorically.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the DP needs \u201cdrastic reformation\u201d in many aspects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo resign means being civilized and responsible. His resignation would indicate that the interest of the party stands above all else. That is why we need a reformation, we are the party of the youth, intellectuals, and actions. Today, the DP no longer belongs to the youth. We need to create a 2025 vision. If we don\u2019t do that, the current government will continue not only for 8-12 years but perhaps another 20-25\u201d, said Nishani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albania\u2019s former president Bujar Nishani met with founding members of the Democratic Party in Kor\u00e7a to hear out their proposals in reforming the party.
