Former Kosovo President and LDK honorable president Fatmir Sejdiu said in an interview for KTV on Monday that LDK leader Isa Mustafa bears the biggest responsibility for LDK’s defeat in municipal elections in Pristina. Sejdiu said he is under pressure from the party’s membership to take over leadership of the party and that when conditions are right he will announce his candidacy for the post of LDK leader.
“The LDK won in many municipalities, but it lost the capital city. This is alarming for the LDK and explanations are needed. There can be no excuse for losing Pristina,” Sejdiu said.
Sejdiu also said he had asked Mustafa not to run for a third term as mayor of Pristina. “Mustafa justified his candidacy by saying that any other candidate would lose Pristina. He also said that he would resign if he lost Pristina,” he added.
Asked if he will run for LDK leader, Sejdiu said he would do so because the party’s membership is asking this from him. “I am under daily pressure from the membership to run for LDK leader again. The first time that processes in the LDK require me to be there, I will be ready to take over the party’s leadership,” Sejdiu said.
