A page on Tik Tok "albin_kosova0", on November 23 posted a poll for the parliamentary elections of February 9, 2025.
According to this survey, Albin Kurti of the Vetëvendosje Movement leads with 54.7%, followed by Bedri Hamza of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) with 18.7%. Then Lumir Abdixhiu of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) with 17.1% and Ramush Haradinaj of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo with 9.5%.
The poll in question emphasizes that these results are without the votes of the diaspora.
From the time of posting until now, the post has received 633 likes and 40 shares.
What is the truth of this survey?
This poll does not meet any element of credibility, as it does not indicate the source of this poll. It also does not indicate the methodology used to arrive at the result.
From hibrid.info's research, it has emerged that this poll has been manipulated with numbers, as the original was made on the Kanal 10 show "Address of Complaints" (see here).
Tik Tok page "albin_kosova0”, has only taken the survey design and manipulated the data, although the ranking is the same. The survey of October 18, 2024 on "Kanal 10" with the question "Who will be the next prime minister of Kosovo", sampled 60 respondents through telephone calls, resulting in Albin Kurti receiving 48% of the votes, Bedri Hamza 27%, Lumir Abdixhiku 20% and Ramush Haradinaj 5%.
reasoning
A Tik Tok page "albin_kosova0" published a poll on November 23 for the parliamentary elections of February 9, 2025.
This site did not indicate the source of the poll, at the same time it manipulated the figures of the original "Kanal 10" poll.
Moreover, this site has rerun a poll from October 18th on November 23rd.
