A content is published with the caption claiming that Haxhi Avdyli, Albena Reshitaj and Jeta Statovci, who were candidates for deputies of the Kosovo Assembly from the list of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), did not receive the mandate from the votes of the June 7 parliamentary elections.
content with this claim was published on Wednesday (June 10) on the Facebook page of the medium "KosovaPost.net".
What's wrong with the claim?
The counting of votes for the candidates for deputies has not yet been completed. However, this content, based on only a certain percentage of the incomplete results, has presented it as a fait accompli.
As of the time of writing, the content has 76 likes and 49 comments, some of which suggest that the audience is likely to perceive the claim as a fait accompli.

Early parliamentary elections were held in Kosovo on Sunday. According to preliminary results of the votes counted, LDK received 122,708 votes or 17,60% (see here).
Meanwhile, Hibrid.info found that after the counting at the polling stations, the counting of votes continued at the Municipal Counting Centers (MCC). Until the handling of this claim, 62,09% of the total votes have been counted. This counting, in addition to votes for political entities, also includes votes for candidates for deputies.
The rest of the vote counting process, according to the Election Law, is scheduled to continue at the Counting Center (CRC) (Article 101) (see here).
The CRC is the location where conditional ballots, ballots from outside Kosovo, and any regular ballots as requested by the Central Election Commission (CEC) or the Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP) are counted.
This means that the total vote count has not yet been completed, which would lead to the certification of the results. Therefore, the results from the counting so far for the candidates for deputies cannot be presented as a fait accompli.
According to preliminary results, based on media reports, LDK is expected to have 20 seats in the Kosovo Assembly (see here and here).
So far, according to the vote count for the 110 LDK candidates for deputies, based on the number of votes they received, Albena Reshitaj is positioned 15th, Jeta Statovci is ranked 20th, while Haxhi Avdyli is in 36th place.
Analyze:
The content claiming that Haxhi Avdyli, Albena Reshitaj and Jeta Statovci have failed to secure a mandate in the Kosovo Assembly represents a premature and unconfirmed conclusion.
The vote counting process for candidates in the June 7, 2026 parliamentary elections has not yet been completed, as part of the votes is still being counted at the Municipal Counting Centers (MCC), while the rest is expected to be completed at the Counting and Results Center (CRC), according to the procedures set forth in the Law on Elections.
