He lost the elections in Kukës, Emri Vata reacts for the first time

The candidate of the coalition "We win together", Emri Vata, has reacted to the elections in Kukës, after the announcement of the result.

Vata thanks the citizens who trusted him with the vote. He declares that the scandals of Prime Minister Edi Rama are not reflected in the result, but deepen it in favor of the offenders.

The opposition candidate claims that the elections were influenced by Rama's patronageists and ministers, who according to him distributed money and made promises.

Vata emphasizes that "the result of the elections, with all the distortions, pressure, buying and selling of votes, state crime should be read carefully".
We remind you that the elections were won by the candidate of the Socialist Party, Albert Halilaj, who received 13,026 votes, while Emri Vata of the coalition "Bashke Fitomje" received 7,429 votes. The difference between the candidates in the race for Kukës is 5,579 votes.

Full statement:

Dear friends, dear colleagues, dear democrats, dear Kuksians!

I want to thank, first of all, the structure of the Democratic Party in Kukës and their families for their endurance and support in this unequal challenge in many directions.

I am forever grateful to the Democrats who trusted me by voting for me.

I am still indebted and grateful to my friends who supported me.

Repeating what we have all seen with our eyes is unnecessary. I want to emphasize that only in the power of Edi Rama, the political, moral and social scandals are not reflected in the result, but deepen it in favor of the offenders.

Patronageists and super-ministers were in Kukës with a bag full of money and promises, but the picture of Kukës emptied in the 10 years of their power speaks without the need for bail.

The result of the elections, with all the distortions, pressure, buying and selling of votes, state crime should be read carefully.

Today we closed a campaign, but not our mission to restore free elections in Kukës and throughout Albania.

I wish that the vote of every Kuksian citizen is not wasted.

Without free elections, there is no solution.

kindly,
