He received 18,125 votes in the Tirana district for the general elections of May 11, but Ilir Alimehmeti was unable to secure a mandate as a deputy, due to the system. In a Facebook post today, he thanked all the citizens who trusted him and voted for him. According to him, this campaign was not simply an electoral challenge, but was a call for conscience, for unity around values such as honesty, work, dignity, writes A2 CNN.
Alimehmeti emphasizes that the result is not the end, but the beginning of a long and honest journey, which will continue with the same dedication.
"Dear citizens, friends and fellow fighters for honesty, 18,125 times you said "yes" to hope, change and truth. 18,125 hearts believed that politics could be different - more humane, more just, closer to the citizen. For this, I am deeply grateful to you. This campaign was not simply an electoral challenge - it was a call for conscience, for unity around the values that make us human: honesty, work, dignity. Every vote you cast was not just for a name, but for a new way of doing politics. Thank you for standing by me, for giving me strength with your words, smiles and trust. Thank you for allowing me to be your voice. The result is not the end - it is the beginning of a long and honest journey, which will continue with the same dedication, without stopping. With all my heart, Ilir Alimehmeti", he writes on Facebook, according to A2 CNN.
A day ago, in the A2 CNN studio, Ilir Alimehmeti said that the system has not produced a real electoral competition but an internal competition, making the voices in parliament increasingly weaker and encouraging people to leave. (A2 Televizion)
