Bekim Sejdiu: I have again notified LDK and Kurti, I have withdrawn from the race for President

Bekim Sejdiu has withdrawn from the race for president of Kosovo, despite acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti declaring today that Lëvizja Vetëvendosje is ready to give 62 votes, together with the MPs of the communities, in exchange for PDK’s support for Sejdiu’s candidacy.

“I have again notified LDK and Kurti, I have withdrawn from the race”, Sejdiu stated for INFOKUS.

His statement comes on the last day of the deadline for electing Kosovo’s president and calls into question the offer made by Kurti to PDK.

Kurti has said that LVV would secure 62 votes, if PDK pledged to secure half of its MPs’ votes for Bekim Sejdiu.

However, Sejdiu’s withdrawal means that the name for which Kurti is seeking support from PDK is no longer accepted by the candidate himself.

The latest developments between LVV, PDK and LDK come at a decisive moment, as October 6 is the last deadline for completing the process of electing the president.

It now remains unclear whether another name will be proposed and whether the political parties will reach an agreement to vote on it within the deadline. /Telegrafi/
