Jordan Daci, the renowned lawyer, says that his name among the candidates to be voted on today at the DP Assembly for the party's National Council was decided without his knowledge.
He emphasizes that he is not a member of the Democratic Party and requests that his name be removed from the list and not be subject to voting.
Jordan Daci's reaction
In relation to information recently made public, according to which my name has been proposed as a candidate for the National Council of the Democratic Party, I feel obliged to explain correctly and calmly that I am not a member of the Democratic Party, I have not submitted any request, consent or expression of will to run in its structures, and I had no prior knowledge of such a proposal.
While maintaining respect for any citizen or structure that may have evaluated my name, as well as thanking any proposer who may have acted in good faith, I must clearly state that I do not agree with the inclusion of my name in this process and request that it not be considered an expression of my personal, professional or public will.
Currently, my institutional and professional choice is related to the candidacy for judge of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Albania. For this reason, I fully adhere to the constitutional principles of independence, impartiality, integrity and non-involvement in political activity, which are essential for any candidate who intends to serve the country in such a high constitutional function.
This clarification is not intended to create public debate, controversy or political misunderstanding, but only to avoid any incorrect interpretation of my position. I have not been and am not part of this political process, and my name should not be used or interpreted as a sign of party affiliation, support or commitment.
I will pursue with seriousness, humility and responsibility the institutional path of running for the Constitutional Court, with the conviction that, if the relevant organs of the institution entrust me with this task, I will serve the Republic of Albania solely on the basis of the Constitution, law, independence and public interest.
