Agron Shehaj challenges Lulzim Basha, runs for Democratic Party chairman: New

The winning candidate for PD deputy, Agron Shehaj has announced his candidacy for chairman of the Democratic Party.

He announced the news through a post on social networks, where he writes that Albania today needs a strong opposition with a new vision and direction.

Shehaj emphasizes that he does not see the competition as a race for the post, but as a joint effort with all Democrats who want the DP to be the party of members: a true democratic, modern and open party.

Full post:

Albania today needs a strong, principled and inspiring opposition. Albania needs the Democratic Party today!

We Democrats will overcome the difficult situation we are in and rise stronger than before. In the face of government autocracy, corruption and incompetence, we will build the alternative of freedom, honesty and ability.

This requires new energies, new vision, new direction.

With this conviction, I decided to run for president of my Party. I do not see the competition as a race for a post, but as a joint effort with all Democrats who want our party to be a party of members: a truly democratic, modern and open party.

I believe that everyone should fight by going out in the square for what they believe. I believe that recovery from loss comes from action and not from the apathy of complaining about the injustices that have certainly occurred. I believe progress comes through change rather than repeating the same mistakes.

I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have trusted me and encouraged me to take responsibility for the race. I have entered politics to work for people, not to get rich and I will not disappoint you.
