Taravari: Not interested in running for President

Skopje, 1 February 2024 (MIA) — Alliance for Albanians leader Arben Taravari in a brief statement for MIA confirmed that North Macedonia's Albanian opposition bloc had asked him to be their candidate for President in the upcoming presidential election, but he was not interested, he said.

 

"The Albanian opposition talked to me about being their presidential candidate, but I am not interested," Taravari said.

 

In an interview for Radio Television Kosovo on Wednesday evening, Besa Movement leader and Tetovo Mayor Bilall Kasami said his party considered nominating Taravari as presidential candidate.

 

He said his party would back Taravari's presidential bid if he decided to run. "Yes, it was discussed with Taravari for him to run for President and we consider him a suitable Albanian candidate for this election," Kasami said. mr/
