Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has secured a historic fourth term, with his Socialist Party winning the majority in Sunday’s election despite opposition allegations of irregularities.
Edi Rama’s Socialist Party (PS) achieved a decisive victory in Albania’s election, securing 52% of the votes with 96% of ballots counted. The result grants PS 82 seats in the 140-seat parliament, expanding their majority. Rama’s win positions him to continue his pledge of steering Albania toward European Union membership by 2030, though experts view the timeline as ambitious due to required reforms, including tackling corruption.
Concerns have been raised regarding the election results. International observers have questioned the fairness of the process.
Rama, who has been in power since 2013, gained support through economic growth and strategic alliances but faces criticism over unemployment and corruption. Analysts were surprised by the scale of PS’s victory, which contrasts with political turbulence in other Balkan nations.
