Democratic League of Kosovo member Avdullah Hoti is currently the leader of the parliamentary group[2]. He was the coalitions candidate for prime minister.[3]
2017 Election
No single party or pre-election coalition would be able to govern alone in Kosovo, according to the results of the snap elections, held on 11 June 2017. The LAA Coalition came third in the elections behind the PAN Coalition and Vetëvendosje, winning 29 seats, with 32 more seats needed for a majority. Many meetings were held with Vetëvendosje officials to form a coalition so the 61 seats minimum for a majority could be met, but no agreement was ever made.
On 4 September 2017, the New Kosovo Alliance leader Behgjet Pacolli informed the Democratic League of Kosovo leader Isa Mustafa that they were leaving the coalition.[4] A few hours later the New Kosovo Alliance joined the PAN Coalition and formed the government on 9 September 2017, which left the LA Coalition in opposition.[5]
