Prime Minister Edi Rama asks the Socialist Assembly to expel Elisa Spiropali and Plarent Ndreca from the Socialist Party.

BalkanWeb and News24 learn that during the first part of the closed-door meeting, Rama requested a vote on the expulsion of Elisa Spiropali and Plarent Ndreca from the SP.

Spiropali's constant criticism of the prime minister has led to the latter's decision.

Likewise, Plarent Ndreca, former MP of this political force and member of the National Assembly, as well as Erion Veliaj's lawyer, has held critical positions towards the head of government.

Meanwhile, regarding Erion Veliaj, Rama has stated that the mayor of Tirana will not be expelled from the Socialist Party, despite the frontal "war" of recent days against the socialist leader. "It's not that his hands are tied," the head of government is reported to have said.
