Guxo! (English: Dare!) is a centre-right political party in Kosovo, formed on 5 November 2020 by Vjosa Osmani.[1] In February 2022, Guxo was registered as a political party as up to that point it was a political list.[2]

History

The party presented candidates within the common list of Vetëvendosje in the 2021 Kosovan parliamentary election, and obtained seven deputies, including Vjosa Osmani.[4] Two of its members joined the Second Kurti cabinet resulting from these elections, which caused the number of deputies from the party to fall from seven to five.[5] After Osmani was elected President of Kosovo in April 2021,[6] she retreated from her party leadership and her seat in parliament as, according to the Constitution of Kosovo, the president has no right to exercise any other public office or to hold any office in a political party,[7] dropping the number of Guxo deputies to four, while Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz became head of Guxo.[8] After Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman, a Vetëvendosje MP, resigned her position, she was replaced by Nasuf Bejta who is a Guxo member which increased the number of deputies of the party to 5.
