The President insists: Resignation when I am a deputy Controversy at the CEC. Deputy chairman Klosi: “It is absurd, he has blocked the granting of mandates” Politics hiding behind the moves — Fatos Lubonja “National Aeneas” TIRANA - It seems that the scenario of President Berisha’s new move in the CEC is mainly aimed at gaining time rather than solving the situation. The explanations that he will leave office only after being elected as a deputy have created a procedural deadlock that is delaying the granting of mandates. In the CEC sessions, disagreements have emerged over the interpretation of deadlines and the manner of resignation. The jurist of the head of state explains that by law he can still retain the post, while opponents regard this as a political maneuver.
