Why is this important: While the certification marks the formal end of the electoral process, the Democratic Party is preparing to contest it in court. The post-election battle is now focused on challenging the validity of the vote in several districts, starting with Kukës. DP is calling for the annulment and repetition of elections, citing unresolved issues with the diaspora vote—specifically ballots from Greece and the arrival of documentation via DHL.

Why is this important: The event gathered hundreds of visitors, officials, and tourism operators from across Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Presheva, reinforcing Shëngjin’s growing appeal as a regional summer destination.

Why is this important: These latest developments underscore the scale of SP’s electoral success, reaching a solid 83-seat majority, just one mandate shy of a qualified majority. The DP’s continued erosion—even in major districts like Tirana—highlights internal weaknesses, poor electoral strategy, and growing public disillusionment. SP’s open-list victories show strong voter engagement with its candidates, while DP’s failure to elect any open-list MPs in key districts reflects a lack of local support and organizational strength.
