The vote counting process is not over yet, although it is clear that the Socialist Party is counting more seats. From "Skenderbej" square in the capital, Prime Minister Edi Rama thanked those present in the square, the people who trusted him, his family and said that he is ready to cooperate with the Democratic Party.
"This is the hardest, most beautiful and biggest victory of the Socialist Party. With all the dizzying number of invalid sheets of those who have chosen 12 but erred with the preference mark, we have broken our record. This is the historical record of this large team of ordinary people with extraordinary powers of ambition for Albania, which has no second in this country, "Rama began his speech.
During the speech, Rama also talked to his mother, Aneta, who passed away a while ago.
"It is my first victory in the absence of someone who has stayed close to me, has followed me as a shadow with unconditional love and careless care, someone I miss terribly endlessly and I hope you are seeing me from up there, my mother Aneta. I wish her to be proud of me and grateful to all of you who trusted me during these years. "
In addition to his mother, he thanked his wife and family.
"A special thanks to my best half, the only opposition I can not beat, but I am happy when I catch the draw, Linda Rama, Zaho's tireless mother, Rhea's proud mother and Greg's loyal friend. Linda, is the stone that gathers us, the source that nourishes us and the light that energizes the four of us. Woman, thank you very much. Thank you both Reas and Greg that you do not cause us any headaches, that you have nothing to do with arrogance and looting and that you have never annoyed or angered people like some children of prime ministers up and down here and elsewhere with your lifestyle. I am very proud of both of you and I wish to make you always proud. "
In the following, he undoubtedly focused on the defeat of the Democratic Party:
“Është detyra jonë, e familjes sonë të madhe dhe e imja personalisht në radhë të parë, që me fjalët dhe sjelljen tonë të mos i bëjmë të ndihen edhe më keq se ç’ndihen natyrshëm nga humbja e thellë, rivalët tanë demokratë. Lulzim Basha dhe Partia Demokratike bënë fushatën më të mirë në historinë e humbjeve të tyre. Ata ishin më skuadër se të gjitha herët e tjera. Demokratët ishin kundërshtarë jo dhe aq të lehtë këtë herë dhe meritojnë respektin tonë për përpjekjen serioze për të arritur të paarritshmen dot për ta. U them atyre sinqerisht se më shumë se kaq nuk bënin dot, madje bënë më shumë seç mund të bënin.”
Rama u shpreh i gatshëm për bashkëpunim dhe mesazhi i tij ishte:
"My sincere message to Lulzim Basha is this: Accept the loss with dignity and with the conviction that you can not do what you wanted, but do everything you can [...] With or without Lulzim Basha, we are very clear that our opposition the only one is the Democratic Party and our great victory, clear and deep, does not make us smaller, but greater the obligation to extend the hand of a sincere, concrete, democratic cooperation, without any prejudice or restriction of the Democratic Party of Albania. I want to be the prime minister of all Albanians, not just those who gave me the third term. "
Rama stressed that Albania has not climbed to the top it deserves from the wrong policy, but only politics, ie their cooperation with the Democratic Party, can lead to what he called "Balkan champions".
