Meanwhile, Besnik Tahiri, Pal Lekaj, Shemsedin Dreshaj and Albana Bytyqi have remained outside.

These changes in the Kosovo Assembly, according to researcher at the Kosovo Institute for Law (IKD), Naim Jakaj, have occurred after many former MPs were punished by citizens, as he says, for their inactivity and inactivity in the previous legislature.

However, he added that in the case of some candidates, former deputies of the previous legislature, who were active but did not win the mandate, the party is to blame for not directing the voter to vote.

Meanwhile, political expert Erblin Hoxha says that there will be new MPs in the ninth legislature, but this does not necessarily translate into quality.

However, the monitor of the work of the Assembly, Naim Jakaj, states that some candidates elected in the ninth legislature are professionals and technocrats, in certain departments.

In this context, he says that the ninth legislature will be better than the eighth legislature, reports KosovaPress.

The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) is currently counting votes from the diaspora and conditional votes.
