After a long and exhaustive debate, the Parliament voted to dismiss Minister of Health Fatmir Mexhiti and Minister of Information Society and Administration Azir Aliu following the proposal of caretaker Prime Minister Talat Xhaferi that they be removed from their posts because “according to the law, there cannot be two opposition entities in the government.”
Sixty-two MPs voted for the dismissal of the two ministers and no MPs voted against it. MPs from the opposition VMRO-DPMNE did not attend the vote.
