–The Together Movement – 2.3 million lek,
–The Albania Movement – 3.8 million lek,

"The purpose of this draft decision is post-election financial compensation for those electoral entities that have not benefited from the distribution of funds as an advance to the parties participating in the elections for Local Government Bodies, dated May 14, 2023, and have received no less than 1 percent of the valid votes nationwide based on the final election results," the CEC decision states.
While parties that had received advance campaign funds are not included in this distribution.
In the case of the “Nisma Shqipëria Bëhet” coalition, the compensation is given only to the Lëvizja Shqipëria Bëhet party of Adriatik Lapaj, as Endri Shabani’s party, Nisma Thurje, had received funds before the elections.
