Skopje, 4 February 2024 (MIA) - Alliance for Albanians (AA) leader Arben Taravari sought late Saturday support from the party over joining the opposition parties of ethnic Albanians.

"Believing in my fellow party members and our joiunt vision, I seek for support so that AA enters the election race together with the Albanian opposition, in order to do the best for the country!" Taravari wrote in a Facebook post.

He adds that after a few weeks of frequent consultations and meetings, as well as personal contemplation, it is time to present his position as party leader.

"Considering the valuable and kind proposals from all friends, members and supporters, I chose to listen to the voice of the people who have spoken louder than ever. The citizen wants to see a change! The people want a political system free of the epidemic of corruption, which has become the biggest obstacle for the well-being and development of Albanians in North Macedonia," says Taravari.

He urged the AA's Assembly to support his stance and welcome the process of a big and long-awaited change.

Later in the evening, AA secretary-general and current Justice Minister Krenar Lloga urged the party to stick to its decision to run alone at the elections.

"Let me inform you that AA has not reviewed any motion within its party bodies over pre-election coalitions. The Presidency decision to run alone at the elections is currently in force. I urge the AA Assembly to support the unanimous proposal by the Presidency - AA to run alone at the 2024 parliamentary elections," Lloga wrote in a Facebook post.
