Dy kandidatët e PDK-së për deputetë dorëzojnë ankesë në PZAP
Two candidates for parliament from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Bekim Haxhiu and Qëndrim Kryeziu, have submitted complaints to the Election Complaints and Appeals Board (PZAP) regarding the final results of the July 7th elections, which were published by the Central Election Commission (KQZ). Haxhiu claims the published results are inaccurate and should not be certified in this form, citing errors in the initial vote-counting process, particularly in the PDK’s sample. He argues that these errors, though labeled as 'human mistakes' by KQZ, significantly impacted the final outcome, especially in the race for mandates. Kryeziu emphasizes that the law requires every vote to be counted accurately and fairly, asserting their request is based on the right to a proper electoral process. Previous complaints from these two candidates regarding a recount were rejected by PZAP and the Supreme Court. PZAP now has four days to respond to their new complaint, and if rejected, they can appeal to the Supreme Court, which has five days to issue a ruling. Only after these procedures are completed will KQZ be allowed to certify the election results.

The Central Election Commission (KQZ) conducted a re-count of 185 polling stations across Kosovo to verify the accuracy of vote counts from the parliamentary elections held on July 7, 2026. The re-count did not uncover any significant irregularities that would justify extending the process to other polling stations. This contrasts with previous concerns raised after the December 2025 elections, where discrepancies led to the re-count of all polling stations and the arrest of hundreds of individuals involved in the voting process. According to KQZ spokesperson Valmir Elezi, the re-count revealed minimal differences, primarily due to the reclassification of invalid ballots into valid ones and human errors during the initial count. In 92% of cases, the difference was just one vote per candidate, while larger discrepancies were rare.

Two candidates from Kosovo's Democratic Party, Bekim Haxhiu and Qëndrim Kryeziu, have filed complaints with the Electoral Dispute Panel (PZAP) regarding the final results of the June 7 elections announced by the Central Election Commission. They claim the results are inaccurate due to discrepancies identified during a recount of 5,201 votes, where 221 votes were incorrectly recorded in the initial registration. Haxhiu stated that similar issues occurred in the December 28 elections, where vote counts increased significantly after recounts. Both candidates argue that the law requires all votes to be counted accurately and that any errors, regardless of size, should not be overlooked. They are requesting a full recount to ensure the final results reflect the true voter count.
