💨 Abstract

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama secured a fourth consecutive term with over 52% of the vote, making him the longest-serving leader since communism's fall. His Socialist Party won 83 of 140 parliamentary seats. Rama aims for EU membership by 2030, viewing it as crucial for Albania's democratic future. He also reaffirmed NATO commitment and defended regional agreements. Critics point to democratic backsliding and corruption.
