Bedri Hamza announced his irrevocable resignation as the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), stating his decision was intended to facilitate a new electoral process and encourage youth involvement. Hamza noted that his tenure since 2020 focused on party unity and voter trust. Following the resignation, Vlora Çitaku assumed the role of acting chair. The transition has prompted debate among political analysts and officials regarding the qualities needed for the next permanent leader. Drenas Mayor Ramiz Lladrovci emphasized that the party requires a decisive leader with executive power rather than a caretaker, while also addressing the need for internal integrity and leaders with clean records. Internal reactions to the resignation have been mixed. Some party members view the move as a ‘moral act of responsibility’ for failing to meet specific electoral goals, while others emphasize the necessity for the party to distance itself from individuals facing legal issues and focus on organizational renewal.
