Democratic Party Chairman Lulzim Basha travelled urgently to Kavaja after the local branch secretary was shot with a firearm in the Democrat electoral offices. Hundreds of citizens and Democrat supporters received Basha outside the party offices with chants “Rama go”.

Basha put the blame directly on the Prime Minister Edi Rama, saying this is an assassination attempt by a departing Prime Minister.

"Tonight Kavaja has faced a serious event, an assassination attempt against the Democratic Party, against the Alliance for Change by a prime minister who knows that on Sunday he loses”, Basha said.

“He has lost all human boundaries, today he is silent while his people with violence and assassination against democracy, show that this regime has come to an end. They want to intimidate Kavaja, the Democratic Party, the coalition for change. They want to shut our mouths. They have never shut our mouths, we are not afraid of them, they will get the deserved answer with a vote on Sunday because Kavaja knows very well, such acts have marked great turns, the overthrow of dictators and dictatorships, they show fear by a man and a handful of people. Albanians are determined to remove them and unite to bring about change", said Basha.
