A comparison of the closed candidate lists for the Tirana district shows a noticeable difference in average age between the Democratic Party (DP) and the Socialist Party (SP).
The DP list has an average age of 54.6 years, while the SP list has an average age of 45.5 years. This difference of 9 years reflects the choices and priorities of each party.
The list of Tirana as the capital of the country has always been a benchmark for the quality of political party lists.
The DP list is dominated by experienced political figures, led by Sali Berisha (81), while names like Jozefina Topalli (63) and Edi Paloka (61) confirm the tendency to support candidates from the older generation of politicians. However, there are also efforts to include the younger generation, with names like Besart Xhaferri (35) and Klevis Balliu (36).
The SP list, on the other hand, has a lower average age and reflects a greater mix of experience and youth. Prime Minister Edi Rama (61) leads the list, but is followed by younger figures such as Ilva Gjuzi (33) and Erjon Malaj (37).
