Albanian parliamentary elections are taking place with Prime Minister Edi Rama aiming for a fourth term amidst a backdrop of EU membership aspirations and corruption claims. While polls favor Rama significantly over rival Sali Berisha, his Socialist Party might rely on smaller parties for parliamentary majority. Notably, this election includes participation from the Albanian diaspora and reflects dynamic campaigning strategies amidst social media influence. Despite economic growth attributed to EU trade and tourism, corruption remains a pressing concern, with criminal activities greatly impacting governance.
"Polls show Rama has a commanding lead over Berisha, who has been weakened by graft allegations, but his party may need the assistance of smaller parties to maintain a narrow four-seat majority."
"Rama's Socialist Party says it can deliver EU membership in five years, sticking to an ambitious pledge while battling conservative opponents with public recriminations and competing promises of pay hikes."
