We have asked for internal rivalry and one of the good things this time around, is that a real race seems to be brewing within the Democratic Party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He admitted that Lulzim Basha will need to \u201ctry his absolute best\u201d in this race, because the names running against him, are taking the battle for the leadership of DP, very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems to me that this is a real race, not only because the candidates have taken it seriously, but because I believe that if Basha wins, he will have had to run seriously and maximally and this is a good thing for the Democratic Party. This encourages within the DP, an internal energy and yearning for renovation,\u201d argued Hasmija.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/ilva-now\/2021\/05\/24\/ylli-manjanis-suggestion-for-the-new-leader-of-dp\/\">Ylli Manjani\u2019s suggestion for the new leader of DP<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div class=\"spot-im-replies-count\" data-post-id=\"eneu14268\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The electoral process for the leadership of the Democratic Party has gained the attention of many, purely because of the fact that the current leader, Lulzim Basha is being challenged by three other names, who used to be very close to him.
