Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama is poised to secure a fourth consecutive term following parliamentary elections, with exit polls indicating his Socialist party will maintain a majority, garnering around 52% of the votes. Rama’s focus on EU membership by 2030 and his strong ties with the US and EU are central to his leadership, although concerns about potential power consolidation and insufficient anti-corruption measures persist. His main rival, Sali Berisha, lacks significant support, prompting calls for a stronger opposition to prevent a decline in political pluralism.
