Journalist Bledian Koka says that Florian Binaj's candidacy can now be considered consensual as he has gained the support of all parties, even those who were looking for a more political character for the local by-elections.
On the show "Off the Record", journalist Koka added that with this candidacy, the opposition has already overcome the first and most important challenge, which is that of unification.
"Will Tirana be the DP's attempt to reinvent itself? A first challenge was won. The selection of a candidate who has received the support of everyone. A candidate who comes from a civic vocation, from civic dignity. A negotiation process was created that today produced a candidate, who is now consensual.
Even those who wanted something else said he is not a bad candidate. Even in 2023, the DP was pressured to have a candidate who was not too political and closer to the citizens. Today we are at this point. The first challenge that the opposition had to unite in Tirana was won," Koka said on A2 CNN.
