After Losing to Këlliçi for the Post of DP Vice President, Luçiano Boçi Says It Openly: The Vote Was Not Clean

Democratic Party MP Luçiano Boçi has commented on the elections held for the leadership posts of the Democratic Party, a process after which he lost his position as vice president, as Belind Këlliçi won the race against him.

Boçi acknowledged that the vote among Democrats had problems and was not entirely clean. He said the voting was more subjective than objective.

“The voting moment is one that involves many elements. It is not very clean as a moment; it is very subjective and not very objective. We both had the same opportunities. I do not think Këlliçi lobbied more. These are things that have their own relativity. I will not go into finding details,” Boçi said on A2 CNN.

Meanwhile, regarding Sali Berisha’s statement that “this is the best team in history,” Boçi said these were two different moments, referring to four years ago.

“It is Mr Berisha’s right to make that assessment. In this case, it is the party chairman’s team, and it is the party chairman’s right to give his opinion. He makes a comparison of the teams over time. Teams also depend on political momentum. This momentum is not the same as it was four years ago, when we were facing a very difficult situation and the existence of the Democratic Party was at stake. I am speaking about the moment when I was elected vice president of the Democratic Party. Usually, we as a society suffer from amnesia, but political parties in Albania also suffer from amnesia. They should also take into account what has happened, and the situations cannot be compared in the same way. So, it was a completely different situation then, and you cannot say that that team was not good either. We now have a completely different situation regarding what lies ahead; it is the party chairman’s right to make such assessments,” he said.
