Episode notes
Albanians voted this Sunday to decide whether to give Prime Minister Edi Rama a fourth term or side with his longstanding rival, Sali Berisha. From the current polls it looks like Prime Minister Edi Rama has secured a fourth term in office. His Socialist Party won a bit over 50% of the vote in Sunday’s legislative elections, enough to hold a solid majority in parliament, with 79 out of 140 seats. His main rival, conservative leader Sali Berisha, and his coalition received 38% of the vote.
But why was this election one of the most crucial ones for the country and what does the result mean for Albania's EU integration ambitions?
