In addition, she became a member of the Central Committee (ZK) of the PPSh at the 6th party congress in November 1971 and was one of the few female members of this body. In addition, she was the first secretary of the PPSh in the Lushnja district for several years .

At the 7th party congress of the PPSh in November 1976 she was elected candidate for the Politburo of the PPSh . She was the first woman on this body since Liri Belishova's dismissal in September 1960.

At the 8th party congress of the PPSh, she was elected a member of the Politburo in November 1981 and was a member of this top management body of the party until December 1990. On January 25, 1983, she also became secretary of the Central Committee of the PPSh and held this position until December 1990. As the Central Committee secretary, she was responsible for party organization.
