Edmond Spaho has responded harshly to Grida Duma, after the latter mentioned him on her show as a failed example in the 2021 elections.
"A forced response to Grida Duma, who used me as an example on Thursday night's show about why I didn't come first in the personal vote in the 2021 elections:
In the 2021 elections, I campaigned for the DP without seeking personal votes.
The result was one more mandate for the DP in Korça than in 2017. The Korça region was one of the 3 regions that achieved the objective.
I was the only competitor in Korça who, in the area assigned to me, had a competitor from my political force, who received 3,000 votes. The others did not have these "favors".
I didn't enter other people's areas to ask the DP structure to vote for me like some did.
I had 18,500 voters in the area I covered. Others had 28,000 voters.
I'm not talking about other stunts.
Tung Grida!
15,000 votes behind like you did in Durrës in 2015 or the votes you received in Kavaja in 2021 will not happen to me. You lost in Kavaja but you were promoted to Deputy Mayor of the DP.
Have you ever won a Grida during your time in politics? I have only lost once, in 2017, out of 6 electoral contests I have had for a deputy in the Albanian Parliament.
While I have been in politics, I have overseen 5 local elections and 1 general election and I have lost 2 times, when I worked for you in 2015 and in 2023 when Ritshaklimi entered without a name, without a seal, without funds and without commissioners.
And most importantly, Grida, I have never entered election campaigns to raise money for myself. I believe you understand where I am talking about. Tung once again," Spaho writes.
