Ahmeti Says He’ll Leave Politics if He Loses Elections

In response to VLEN’s comments, DUI leader Ali Ahmeti said during a visit to Kumanovo on Monday that he would leave politics if he lost elections. Ziadin Sela’s Alliance for Albanians wing, which is part of the DUI-lead European Front, has demanded early elections as well.

“We have regretfully followed the positions of the illegitimate coalition, VLEN, who are afraid of elections even though they’re part of the cabinet. It’s absurd that they’re the only political group which considers the situation normal, even though all other actors have stated the need for early elections to be held simultaneously with the [October 2025] local polls,” it says in a press-release.

When it comes to SDSM, it will not file a request for dissolution of Parliament despite party leader Venko Filipce’s stand that the party is ready for elections right away.
