Results from May 11/ Çelaj: They were the most violated and distorted

Isuf Çelaj reacted this Sunday afternoon regarding the results of the parliamentary elections of May 11. Through a post on social networks, Çelaj expressed his gratitude for receiving the mandate, while emphasizing that in the entire 35-year history of pluralism, these were the most violated and distorted elections.

Çelaj adds that the DP will defend the dignity and free vote of Albanians, which can no longer be fixed numbers of mandates scrawled on a disposable tablecloth, the result of an electoral fraud.

"Dear citizens of Tropoja, Has and Kukës!

With great gratitude and respect, I thank you for every vote you gave for the ASHM coalition and for me as a candidate for MP. Thank you for believing in me as an individual and in the program of the Democratic Party and Prof. Dr. Sali Berisha!

Special thanks to the structures of the Democratic Party of Tropoja, Has and Kukës for their tireless work, as well as to the heads of the electoral headquarters, Mr. Demaj in Kukës, Mr. Maçi in Has and Mr. Hoxha in Tropoja.

Thank you for the work and citizenship shown by the two challenger candidates Elvira in Has and Shkëlqim in Kukës under the leadership of Political Director Flamur Hoxha.

Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and former colleagues for your sincere and maximum support in this election campaign.

Thank you to the commissioners, tellers, and observers for their hard work to guarantee the Democratic vote in this election process.

In their complexity, these elections were neither free nor equal. In the entire 35-year history of the post-90s, these were the most violated and distorted elections. We faced conditions of extreme inequality with the machinery of the only narco-state in Europe. The use of the state budget, criminal structures, intimidation of citizens and other manipulations were worthy only of the regimes of Maduro and Bashar Assad.

We, as the Democratic Party, with Prof. Dr. Sali Berisha, will defend the dignity and free vote of Albanians. Albanians can no longer be fixed numbers of mandates scrawled on a disposable tablecloth, the result of an electoral fraud.

Albanians will once again be free to choose their dignified leaders and representatives.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the trust you have given me!", writes Çelaj ./ CNA
