Addressing the supporters of the Democratic Party, Berisha stated that he would never lead without believing in victory. Berisha noted that the Democratic Party meets at this Assembly having successfully delivered on its fundamental promise to protect the vote.

“”We are no longer on the defensive—we are in the final sprint to victory. As we approach the finish line of this marathon, we face defining responsibilities. Our foremost obligation, which we owe to both the Democrats and the Albanian people, is renewal,” said Berisha.

According to him, “The renewal of the party is and should be our great work.”

“It must be our duty to renew Albania tomorrow. It must be our duty to restore the free vote to Albanians. The renewal of the DP presupposes, first of all, vision.

“I can confidently say our vision is unmatched, yet government-controlled media bombards the public daily with a synchronized narrative that the DP lacks a program. We aren’t just fighting the government; we’re fighting their relentless propaganda”, said Berisha. /m.m/p.s./

The current DP Chairman Sali Berisha is the only candidate in the race. And he appreciated the process as exemplary.

“This is the most democratic referendum, the voters can express their support for the chairman or show they are against him”, Berisha said to reporters.

He took the opportunity to call on all other Democrats who have not voted yet to fulfill this important statutory obligation.

Asked about the claims of former Democrat MP Ervin Salianji of having his name on the ballot paper, Berisha responded by emphasizing that, “A representative of the criminal world cannot in any way taint this most democratic process in Albania.” /m.m//a.g/p.s./

The newest political party is a union of some figures who are no longer members of the Democratic Party led by Sali Berisha, nor of the Euro-Atlantic Democrats led by Lulzim Basha, with whom they had disagreements.

In a statement to the media, Alibeaj read the Charter of Principles and Values ​​of this new party, which, according to him, “is based on five main pillars of freedom: the individual, property, family, self-government and faith”.

Alibeaj stated that at the center of this political force is the rule of law, a more limited government in its size and power, as well as the free market. /m.m/j.p/p.s./

The head of the SP highlighted the fact that the voters and sympathizers have made the SP the greatest force of Albanian patriotism, the embodiment of the European Albania and synonymous with the word victory.

Rama took the opportunity also to congratulate the people of Kosovo on the anniversary of the entry of the NATO forces into Kosovo standing side by side with the freedom fighters of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

“Good morning with a hug to each of the 93 thousand members of the Socialist Party on this 33rd anniversary of the day when the party was born, as well as with grateful thanks to the sympathizers and voters who have made our party the greatest strength of Albanian patriotism, the embodiment of European Albania and synonymous with the word victory, as well as with a heartfelt congratulations to all the people of Kosovo on the anniversary of the entry of NATO forces into Kosovo standing side by side with the freedom fighters of the Kosovo Liberation Army”, Rama wrote in the social media. /r.e/p.s./

“Let no one have any illusions that there can be found in this country another power than the Socialist Party, that has the ability, courage and power, but also the experience to lead and win the battle for the European statehood of Albania, which at its core, is a great struggle for triumph of the culture of the state over the tradition of the anti-state,” said PM Rama.

“Today, as we speak, first of all you and all the members of this political family, don’t get your mind off and meanwhile everyone should hear that after 113 years of independence of Albania, after 33 years of political pluralism and after foundation of the 333 parties in this country, this party is the only one in the space of the historical enemy of justice in Albania, the political power, that has made a choice that no one else dared”, the head of the government emphasized.

“We have chosen to fight for the independence and strengthening of justice, by self-determination not only on the side of justice, through the exercise of our power as a legislative majority, but also being at the disposal of justice, through our complete withdrawal from any political control of it”, underlined PM Rama./p.s./

During a TV interview, Zhupa said that, “If the elections were held to the minimum standard, Lulzim Basha would have resigned, but this is not something that can happen when the elections, as the Democratic Party describes them, were an electoral massacre.”

“If we had free and fair elections, at least with the minimum of democratic standards, Lulzim Basha would have resigned and he confirmed this yesterday at the meeting we had at the National Council, where everyone without exception knows that we have not managed to have free and fair elections, rather we have a pair of alienated and manipulated choices. Under these conditions, we cannot call the election thief a winner and steal a success,” she said.

Also, Zhupa said that so far we have two candidates running for party chairman, Basha and Kadilli, but until May 23 there may be other candidates.

Regarding the shift of the date of the elections for the chairman of the Democratic Party from July to June 13, Zhupa said that it happened because tourism is more developed during July./p.s./

“The “Movement for Change” did not succeed in becoming a factor in this election. But, I want to thank the staff, every candidates who challenged the current political class; all those who believed “, said Topalli in the statement after the elections.

“Leaving the leadership of this “Movement”, I wish that patriotic and uncorrupted people continue the “Movement” for the reform of the Albanian right”, Topalli emphasized.

The “Movement for Change” party failed to cross the threshold in the Parliamentary elections, receiving 7049 votes, or 0.45% nationwide, but not enough for a seat in the Parliament. /j.p/p.s./
