Sakja engaged in politics from his early youth. He slowly rose through the ranks of the Democratic Party's local base and was elected party leader for the city of Kavajë in September 2015.

In the 25 June 2017 snap elections, he defeated his Socialist Party opponent Dorian Murati by a mere 28 votes.[2] The early elections for the mayoral seat were held because of the termination of his predecessor's mandate as a result of the law on decriminalization.[3]
