"The party is not the property of Saliu and Shkëlzen," Evi Kokalari: Berisha is deliberately delaying the race, he cannot escape my candidacy

Evi Kokalari has stated that she has not received any response from the Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha regarding her request to run for the Democratic Party presidency on May 23. Through a post on social media, Kokalari stated that her request to run for the Democratic Party presidency was made publicly on March 16 and was submitted to Berisha on March 19 through American lawyers.
Kokalari added that the DP is not the personal party of Sali and Shkëlzen Berisha, as he expressed his belief that they will not be able to hold it by force.
Kokalari further accused the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, of colluding with Prime Minister Edi Rama. She further wrote that she has submitted evidence to the US State Department on this issue.
Kokalar's reaction:
On March 16, I publicly asked Sali Berisha to add my name to the Democratic Party's presidential race. On March 19, the request was officially sent to him through lawyers.
Today is March 31st, so 16 days have passed without any response. They say they would create a commission to deal with the candidacies, but this commission should have been ready when they publicly declared that the race for the presidency of the Democratic Party was opening.
That I would run, Berisha knew very well since 2023. I have repeatedly written to both Sali Berisha and Shkelzen Berisha, who had the last chance in 2021 to correct every mistake they had made for the last 35 years. They did not do it, but abused all of us. Now is the time for them to come out and they will come out: with grace or without grace. But one thing is certain — my candidacy was not a surprise to them.
They are already dealing with the "Fathers" and those who expel from the DP, and they are clearly doing this to distract from the fact that they are delaying the committees and everything that they should have ready a month ago.
I understand their game, and they should understand: they will not escape my candidacy. Nor can they refuse it, because those who gave Berisha hope from the US will soon have their own troubles, and Berisha will not win this battle.
I don't know how to make it clearer, except to say that Berisha's house arrest, which was lifted based on bargaining with Rama, can be returned to him, because this is the track I have been following this past week after Babale made it public and confirmed that Berisha, in exchange for lifting his house arrest, forgave the local elections of May 2025.
The one who facilitated that bargain between Rama and Berisha will have his own troubles, but the person who made this decision (the judge) may also face justice himself and, if he has received orders from Edi Rama to lift the house arrest, he will not only lose his license, but chances are that he/she will also be passed over by SPAK one day, because SPAK is not just after money. Corruption takes different forms.
The Rama-Berisha deal, as a fact confirmed by Babalja, has already been reported to the State Department and perhaps SPAK will soon have to account to those who finance it.
I say this because Berisha doesn't understand that I'm not afraid of Trump's children who are stealing heavily in that country and, compared to them, Berisha and Shkëlzeni are very light weight.
So I suggest once again not to delay this competition.
My candidacy does not need the approval of a commission that will be invalid, because chances are it is composed of individuals as corrupt as Berisha himself, who he has introduced into parliament without a single vote. And as long as you cannot justify your existence in that party without a single vote won in your name, you cannot have a say in qualifying or not my candidacy and my existence in that institution, which was one of the main reasons why Berisha achieved that "comeback" as its chairman again.
Personally, I have already proven that my fight to protect the DP has been very strong. The fight against Berisha is, without a doubt, the right fight to save the party, so they cannot accuse me of attacks against the party. If they have to say that I fought against Berisha, let them say it — because that statement only brings me votes.
Again, it's almost April 1st, and Shkelzen and Sali Berisha should officially answer me (or the lawyer) and stop playing with the rights of Albanians any longer. The DP, unless Shkelzen brings me a deed registered in the cadastre since its formation, does not belong to Berisha and they will not be able to keep it by force.
And they will not be able to win over their own people by rigging votes. Anyone who enters this race now has been warned: this is a battle you will not win; in fact, you will be jeopardizing any chance of continuing in politics in the future.
The DP on May 23rd should have only one clean race, unmanipulated by the Voks, Nokers and Kelliçs: a clean race between the two founders of Rithemelim:
