Edi Rama wins Albania's elections in a landslide, secures fourth term in office

The vote count is still underway, but the data released by Albania’s Central Electoral Commission are unequivocal: the Socialist Party is one step closer to victory that will allow the outgoing premier, Edi Rama, to remain in power for a fourth consecutive term. The Socialists–at 52.8 percent– should also easily win an absolute majority in Tirana’s parliament, thus securing a key position of strength to move in forced stages toward EU membership by 2030, the promise with which Rama overwhelmingly won elections.
