Constitutional Court Candidacies: Llagami and Daci Meet Criteria, Pass First Phase

Naureda Llagami and Jordan Daci are the first two candidates to meet all the criteria to continue their candidacy for judge of the Constitutional Court.

The Justice Appointments Council has barred the candidacy of Lulzim Hamitaj, who has the right to appeal the decision.

Meanwhile, Genc Gjonçaj, Helena Papa, Alban Toro, Arta Vorpsi and Brunilda Bara are in the decision-making process on whether their candidacies will be allowed or barred.

After the KED decides on allowing or barring the other candidacies as well, all candidates will undergo scored evaluation. The three candidates with the highest scores will be sent respectively to the President of the Republic and the Parliament.

The President selects one candidate among the three names, while in Parliament all three candidates undergo the voting process.

The two vacant seats in the Constitutional Court were created after the resignation of Elsa Toska and the end of Sonila Bejte’s mandate.

The procedure for replacing the two Constitutional Court judges is beyond any legal deadline.
