The deputy editor of Panorama, a local daily paper, said that the two main political parties have very few new names in their list of candidates racing for the district of Tirana.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn between the two main parties I only see some young people who are in minority. SP\u2019s list for Tirana has only 3 young new candidates, the others are lawmakers that have already served 2-3 terms or held ministerial posts. Also, I see very few youngsters at the DP and they have recycled the same old personalities\u201d, stated Aristir Lumezi.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Panorama\u2019s deputy editor, the youngsters stand \u201cat a disadvantage\u201d in confront to the older political figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, Lumezi also spoke of another \u201cunexpected factor\u201d that might change things up in these elections: The Constitutional Court.<\/span><\/p>\n

He recalled a request made by Myslim Murrizi, calling for a total open-list system.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a request filed at the Constitutional Court which might overturn everything. A request made by Murrizi for open lists. If accepted, the race will open from the first to the last\u201d, Lumezi said.<\/span><\/p>\n
