Balla's role on the Balluku file: PS group chair; Ulsi Manja drafted the majority report; Balla's individual vote not found
The 12 Mar 2026 vote is documented in ev-2026-03-12-balluku-vote and ev-2026-03-12-balluku-immunity-pd-split. Balla's individual vote is not documented in the sources reviewed. Search snippets describe Balla as PS group chair saying the Council of Mandates would examine SPAK's request and that the Council has a 3-month deadline (not fetched). PD's Gazment Bardhi said Manja, the PS rapporteur, had a conflict of interest on the Balluku file (an allegation about Manja, not Balla). Balla is not documented as a Council of Mandates member in the sources reviewed.
