With 5,185 out of 5,225 ballot boxes counted across the country, the Socialist Party confirms its lead in the May 11 parliamentary elections, securing 52.2% of the vote and a clear majority in the new Assembly. With 763,708 votes won so far, the SP is expected to secure 83 seats, leading Edi Rama to a fourth term in office, an unprecedented precedent in post-communist Albanian politics.
On the other hand, the DP-ASHM coalition, led by Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta, has received 497,531 votes, which translates into 34.2% of national support and 50 seats in Parliament – a result that places the opposition in second position, but far from directly influencing the majority.
These elections have produced a more fragmented political map, where several new forces have managed to gain representation:
Adriatik Lapaj's "Albania Becomes" initiative is the third force with 3.7% of the votes (54,766) and 1 mandate.
The Social Democratic Party (PSD) received 47,915 votes (3.4%) and is represented by 3 MPs.
Agron Shehaj's "Mundësia" party received 44,799 votes (3%) and won 2 mandates.
Arlind Qori's "Bashke" movement has crossed the threshold with 21,733 votes (1.5%) and receives 1 mandate.
But eyes are now on the diaspora vote, as there are signs that we may have changes in Lezha, Fier or Vlora. Lapaj is expecting a mandate in the latter two.
