Albanian political leader Safet Gjici has left the internet shocked after a video of him in a compromising position went viral. The Kukes mayor was seen getting intimate with an unidentified woman in his office. He announced his resignation after the video made its rounds online.

In response to the viral video, a Kuka Municipality spokesperson said:

“those who could not defeat him by voting did this”

Safet Gjici is part of the Socialist Party for those unversed. He had won the municipal elections back in May 14. However, he recently took to his official Facebook account to announce that he was resigning from his role. He claimed to be trapped by his opponents when he took part in the intimate act. The 51-year-old wrote online:

“Deepest public apology to anyone who saw that ugly video today. After a difficult campaign and confrontation with my opponents, after which I emerged victorious, unfortunately I feel prey to a trap prepared in detail by the same hand of people I faced in the election.”

Prior to becoming a political candidate, Gjici was just a businessman. He is the CEO of EuroGjici and Kevin Construction. He is also the president of the FK Kukesi football club.

After his resignation, Delina Ibrahimi, the Minister of Finance revealed that the country’s ministers had immediately dismissed him from office.
