This is not the first time that Sali Berisha has run alone in a race. In fact, this also happened when he was elected president in 1992. In an article by Abdi Baleta, published in the newspaper “Rimëkembja” in 1996, it is clearly and coolly analyzed why Berisha made that decision, also frightened by the possibility that his rival at the time could be Ismail Kadare.
"Before the vote was held, he insisted that the constitutional law be changed and that it not be mandatory to have an alternative candidacy."
According to him, this was not a formal matter, but a way to avoid any real danger from a potential adversary:
"It remains unclear why Berisha insisted so much then, did he not want to put any of his associates in the position of 'buffoon candidate', or was he afraid that instead of his buffoon, a real competitor might emerge."
