According to data collected by "Data Centrum," the new faces in Albanian politics, including Arlind Qori, Endri Shabani, and Adriatik Lapaj, have been scrutinized. Among them, Adriatik Lapaj stands out with the highest favorability.
Specifically, 35% of respondents expressed a positive opinion about Adriatik Lapaj and the "Shqipëria bëhet" movement. Arlind Qori, from the "Lëvizja Bashkë," garnered a 22.2% positive opinion, while Endri Shabani of the "Thurje" initiative received a positive rating from 17.9% of those surveyed.
The negative opinions present an overturning ranking, with 25.4% expressing negativity towards Shabani, 21.6% towards Qori, and 17.4% towards Lapaj.
Analyzing the measurements over three months, all three leaders experienced an increase in favorability from November 2023 to January 2024.
Arlind Qori: Positive opinion increased from 17.6% in November 2023 to 22.2% in January 2024.
Endri Shabani: Favorability rose from 13% in November 2023 to 17.9% in January 2024.
Adriatik Lapaj: Favorability increased from 22.7% to 35% in January 2024.
Despite differences in favorability, what unites these three figures in the new political movements is their positive perception among both socialists and democrats, as well as a high level of public unfamiliarity.
Endri Shabani is unknown to 44% of respondents, Arlind Qori to 42.7%, and Lapaj to 37.2%. The shared characteristic among these emerging leaders is their positive image among established political groups and a significant level of public recognition yet to be achieved.
